Uncle Noah, as he was commonly
known by all, still lived on the home
stead he entered from the govern
ment, where a large family had been
reared. He has been in poor health
a number of years. Only a few days

therefore his death came as sur
prise to his many friends. We have
not learned the particulars or the
time of the funeral.
AS we glanced around and saw the
rapidly rising water Saturday and
Sunday We were reminded OF the ques-
ton which is so often debated, (Which
is the most destructive, fire or wa
ter?" The water certainly looked dan
gerous as it was the highest known
in years, coming within about foot
of the True Mercantile store and the
saloon. The G. &, N. w. track was
washed out just above the depot. A
train came Sunday with workmen to
fix a washout near Herring, but could
get no further than Deloit. Monday
morning a train crew was on hand to
fix up the washout here. The water
had subsidized quite little and we
hope we will not see another such a
flood soon.
