Show Flood in Nebraska. According to a special from Lincoln, Neb., three hundred families living in Columbus have been compelled to leave- their homes and seek higher ground. The Lewis river at this poiut is more than a mile and a half wide. The Union Pacific tracks for that dis-. tance from Columbus to the big bridge over the Lewis river are under watef and cannot be used. Ice gorges are forming continually. At Stanton Minnie Doetsch was drowned in Union creek, which is beyond its banks. |
