BIG FLOOD At VERUGRE
MUCH DAMAGE BEING DONE TO
TOWN AND COUNTRY.
POWER HOUSE FOUNDATION OUT

Building is In Danger OF Destruction.
Bridges Are Threatened - Flood
Comes After the Heaviest Rain Of
the Season Last Night.
Verdigre, Neb, July 19.-Special to
The News: AS the result of tre-
mendous food which Is raging down
Nordigre creek today, the foundation
of the electric power house was
swept from under the building and
the building itself is in great dan
ger of destruction. A number of coun.
ty bridges on the creek have been par
TALLY destroyed and the indications
are that greater damage will result
before the flood subsidies.
The food came after the hardest
rain of the season last night, follow
ing a heavy rain every night for the
past week. Water in the creek is
eight feet above high water mark, and
Verdigre is isolated from the surround
ing country except to the west. To
the north the bridge over the creek
can not be approached within fifty
rods, and only the railing of the struc-
ture may be seen above the raging
torrent. Water stands on level with
the railroad bridge, but thus far there
has been no indication of danger
there.
The bridge at Juhl's farm has been
washed away, for the third time this
season. The approaches to the bridge
in Verdigre are gone, and the lowlands
are covered with water. Much dam
age has been done to growing crops
and farm property.
The business portion of the town is
on high ground and is in no danger
from the encroaching waters.

SAVES FARM FOR MAIDEN
IN RACE FOR LADY's HOME THE
cHlvALRous KNIGHT WINS.
COWBOY BEATS THE TRAIN
Romantic Story Of the Manner In
Which Ranohman Skate Went to
the Rescue Of Miss Bae Mills and
Secured Homestead for Her.


Rapid City, S. d., jury 19,-No
knight of old ever served his lady bet
ter than has Relleman Skaife, OF the
famous Skate ranch served Miss Bae
Nj. Mills, of southern Illinois, total
stranger to him. Riding his horse
across the plains forty-hve miles in a
race against a railroad train he saved
for her a homestead upon which she
had set her heart and which another
had tried to take from her.
A less determined young man or
horse not quite so fleet would have
lost the prize, as the competitor for
the fine farm arrived by train but five
minutes after the almost exhausted
horse of the cowboy stumbled with his
rider at the door of the land Office in
this city.
Those who have heard of the Incl
dent are indulging in gossip of ro-
nance which is proving embarrassing
to the young man and the girl he SO
CALAMITY served, still they are not re-
senting it.
FIVE miles east of here, to take up a
claim. She found one much to her
liking and determined to make entry
upon it, Her purpose became known
and another homeseeker man, early
in the morning filed on the same piece
at Washta.
The young womans disappointment
was keen and her tears attracted to
her the sympathetic cowboy, Relleman
Skate. She told him her story. He
looked at his watch and said simply:
"Ill save it for you. That fellows
filing here is not final; he must first
make entry at the Rapid City land Of
fee. Give me your papers,"
Miss Mills quickly made her prelim-
mary filing and gave the papers to
Skate who said he would beat the
train to Rapid City and hand the pa
pers in ahead of the rival for the land,
or kill his horse in the race The
rival had not left town yet, but the
train was due. Skate started, and in
less than three hours he had reached
his destination, while the train, which
had to go farther around came putting
in about neck and neck with Skates

He wired back to Miss Mills of his
victory and her delight was expressed

Topped Chicago Market.

Madison Chronicle: Madison Coun-
ty is noted for the quantity and quail
ity of the cattle fed within it's borders.
Many carloads are annually fatted
upon the product of her rich soil.
From the city of Madison alone are
shipped many trainloads of cattle and
hogs to the Omaha and Chicago mar
kets. The fact that Madison county
stockmen understand the art of cat
tie feeding and are good judges of
quality was demonstrated last week
when one Of our successful feeders
had a car of cattle which topped the
Chicago market. We refer to MoritZ
Gross, who shipped nine cars to Chi.
cago, eight of which were sold on
Monday for $3.50 and the remaining
car, which was delayed in transit on
account of hot box, was sold for the
same figure the day following. ]. B.
Hume had four cars of yearing steers
and heifers on Mondays market which
sold very near the top. Wednesday
c. w. Sprout was on the market with
which sold for $6.55. Considering the
fact that these cattle had been on
feed only since February the sale was
a good one. Mr.. Sprout as well as Mr..
Gross is highly pleased with prices
received. Z. T. McGehee had two cars
of cattle on the Omaha market last
week which brought excellent prices.
