Washouts on the Lake Road.

Fridays storm did a lot of damage to
the Lake road track between here and
Greensboro and the loss to the road will
reach several thousand dollars. The last
train over the line was the mail from
Swanton Friday afternoon and the next
through train was the mail on Monday
night to Swanton. There were three
serious washouts, one near the Hatchery,
one mile this side of Greensboro and
one at the covered bridgein Walden near
MIR. Bells house. Besides this there were
smaller washouts along the line and in
many places the mud and dirt had cover
ed the track to depth of several feet. 1t
was the severest experience the road has
ever had, but Mr.. Severance and Mr..
Spaulding had large force of men at
the various places by Saturday morning
and worked hard for the next three DAYS
to repair the loss. The storm did no
damage west of Hardwick and by Mon.
day the passengers were carried by until
evening, when regular train service was
resumed. Had trains been running dur
ing the storm it isnot difficult to i'm agine
that some very serious wrecks might
have occurred
