DAMAGE DONE BY THE
FRESHET TUESDAY NIGHT

The freshet Tuesday night caused
much damage to the bridges of the
county. In the Second District alone
four bridges of considerable size were
washed entirely away, and other dis
tricts suffered considerably in this
respect. It is reported that the big
dump at the new bridge over Rapilje
creek has been washed away
Much damage was done in the way
Of washing newly -plowed ground. The
heaviest part of the rain lasted only
about fifteen minutes, but during that
time an enormous amount of water
fell.

The quick action of Mrs. Charles

loon, by which she foiled an at
t2mpted Jail delivery, deserves all
the publicity which has been ac-
corded it, although Mrs. Jack, we
understand, is reluctant about fig

no easy or safe duties; their lives
are in danger constantly from the

liberty has been suspended and who
moved by motives OF revenge, will
do anything that offers even only
temporarily a chance to escape. In
emergencies comes the test Of nerve

Turnkey Lord was putting up stiff
fight for his life and against those
who planned to make their escape,
Mrs. Jack grasped the need of &C

such emergencies there is no time
