Vernon Bass sends the Herald a
clipping from Kearney, Nebr., which
indicates that he got home just in to
participate in the benefits of a flood
that inundated that region. At the
village of Pleasonton, near Kearney,
the citizens are literally digging
themselves out of the mud. The Loup
river went on a rampage, flooding the
village streets three feet deep. The
village jail was wrecked, the water
and light plants were flooded, the U.
P. road lost 800 feet of track and an
immense amount of damage was done
to store and residence property. Con-
crete walks on the streets sank three
feet or more due to washing away
of the sandy loan underneath. Far
mers report great loss to livestock
and crops. The U. P. road lost its
entire line in the bottoms between Ra-
VIENNA and Pleasonton, the rails being
covered with water 20 feet deep.
