HIGH WATER SATURDAY
Dry Run 0verran It's Banks i'm Few
Places Along It's Course.
The Railroads Suffered Again. The
Milwaukee Expects to Resume
Service Tomorrow.

Saturday, March Is, will not only
be remembered as Andrew Jackson's
birthday, but it will be remembered
as day, of high water, which is
something unusual for this time of
the year; Saturday afternoon rain
fell in torrents, and the result was
that all the creeks were swelled out
of their banks. Dry Run couldn't
hold the rush of water and went
over the banks in some places. The
damage done was nothing in COM
parisons4 10 ether times, but at that
the water got into a few cellars, but
fortunately it subsidized before any
great damage was done.
The railroads entering DEBORAH
We're washed out. The Rock Island
tracks were undermined in a place
or two, but they fixed things up in a
few hours and had trains running
Monday. The Milwaukee Jared the
worst. One bridge near the Old Peo-
pies home at Haugendale was taken
out and about 200 feet Of track. A
work train will get into DEBORAH
this afternoon and service Is expect
ed to be resumed tomorrow, Thurs
day.
On Monday several gentlemen took
petition out and it was freely
signed by property owners to present
to the city council to have survey
made of Dry Run and see what can
be done towards Strengthening the
creek out. AS we understand 1t the
proposition will be put to vote OF
the people, after survey has been
made and it has been ascertained
| Just what can be done to remedy the
creek situation. Following is the
petition that has been circulated:
| We; the undersigned resident tai
payers of the city of Decorah, Iowa
hereby respectfully petition YOU

ancy in cashing it.
