BRIDGE WAS ON FIRE.
Santa Fe Is Now Operating Line
Again.

Solomon, Feb. 21.--The Santa Fe
branch trains are being operated
again today after a two days rest
on account Of a bridge being burned
west of town.
The bridge was probably two-thirds
destroyed by fire. The bridge is a
wooden structure about 60 feet long.
1t is located across a slough, short
distance west of the big bridge across
the Solomon river and about one mile
west of Solomon.
One entire approach of the bridge
burned away and the stringers
through most Of the bridge burned
so that II took considerable repair
work before trains could again move
across the slough.
1t is supposed that sparks from the
morning train caused the fire. The
fire had been discovered by farmers
and section men who formed bucket
brigade and put the flames out of
business.

Farmers Say the
Wheat Is Hurt

great per cent of the wheat is dead.
The delegates stated that by running
their hand over the soil, the wheat
would pull right out. This is taken
as a certain indication that wheat is
dead.
The wheat with the exposed roots
is what suffered most. The winter
was unusual and thaws and freezes
alternating every day, simply cracked
the ground and heaved it so that the
roots were exposed.
But for all that, there are indica-
tions that Kansas will come to the
front with a good wheat crop. Last
year the wheat was fairly burned to
death and by some strange means or
other, 1t produced a good crop.
Some of the farmers will plant their
wheEt fields in early corn.
