Northwestern Tracks.
LOWER BROADWAY COVERED WITH MUD
City Employees Prevent Overflow
Further Up stream By Preventing
Drift from Lodging Against
the City Bridges.

As a result OF the downpour of rain last
evening, Indian creek went on one of it's
periodical rampages and overlooked ITS
banks at the Northwestern bridges Broad
way from Tenth street to the tracks of the
Illinois Central was badly flooded and tine
city will be called upon to remove the
usual amount OF mud and debris Al
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets the water
in the creek rose to the bottom of the
bridges, but did not leave the banks The
city had the men of the sewer gang at the
bridges on these three streets to keep the
driftwood and other floating debris NOV
ing and this prevented the formation Of
dams at these points.
Mayor Macrae made tour of inspection
along the creek during the high water and
discovered a man said to be James Malone,
an engineer on the Northwestern road, husily
engaged in dumping great chunks of refuse
from the back yard Of his residence be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets in the
creek so that II might be carried away
by the food. 1t was stated last night that
an information would probably be filed
against Malone, and Mayor Macrae an
nounced his determination Of reporting the
matter to the Northwestern railroad offi-
cials.

been compelled TO give up her position a.
she was afraid TO walk alone az nights

Ten Thousasd Gophers KILLED.

Since the bounty of 10 cents a head
offered by the Board of County Super
visors went into effect on April l, 10000
of the little animals have been killed in
Pottawattamie county, stated County
Auditor Cheyne yesterday. The issuing
of so many warrants for the claims for
the bounty and keeping record OF them
has entailed great deal or extra work
on the auditor and his force.
Yesterday John Geiger. justice of the
peace in Minden. sent in sO7 claims, max
ing a total OF 2.l09 claims which have
passed through his hands, during the
month of April Justice Geigers com
mission of ? cents a gopher on all bounty
claims certified to by him amounted to
SANS for the month.
The fact that 10000 gophers were killed
during April, the bounty on which
amounted to $4,000. indicates that the
county will pay out several thousand
dollars for the destruction OF these little
pests before the season closes this year.
