VALLEY OF TIE PAPPlo RIVER
SWEPT EY A RAGING TORRENT.
OF WATER.
GROWING CROPS DAMAGED
RAILROAD TRACKS WASHED OUT
AND MUCH OTHER PROPERTY
DESTROYED.

Omaha, Neb., May 21.--A water
spout broke in the valley Of the Pap
pho river, twenty miles west of Omaha
in the evening, and in a few minutes
the little stream was a raging torrent
three-quarters of a mile wide. Great
damage was done to the growing
crops, hundreds of acres of corn, wheat
and oats being washed out of the
ground. The damage to the crop in
the valley is estimated at 500, 900.
At Portal, fifteen miles west of
Omaha, the Union Pacific, Burlington
and Missouri Pacific tracks run close
together. All three of the roads have
low bridges over the Pappio. When
the food struck these bridges the ap-
proaches held back the food and in a
few minutes the water had backed up
and raised until it was running over
the bridges.
The Missouri Pacific was the first
to feel the mad rush of the waters,
and soon 100 feet of track was washed
away. The debris and water poured
down onto the Burlington track and
swept away 500 feet of the grade.
Reaching the Union Pacific track, the
water swept over it and carried away
100 feet of the embankment. Com
munication into the city from the West
is practically cut off, the three roads
sending their trains over other lines.
Platsmouth, farther down the Pap
pic, was a heavy sufferer. There the
food entered the town through a deep
ravine and swept down the main
street, flooding Easements and run
ming through stores. The damage
here will approximate $4,000.
