A NIGHT OF TERROR CuMd by a Clo&<-B«r«t In the Loap River Talley in Nebraska—Many Towns and Citlnt Inundated?-Great Loss of I4f« and Otltrnction of Property Caused by Cyclones, Hailstorms, Heavy Rains and Floods. • • Columbus, Neb., June 7.—Last night tvas one of terror to residents of the lowlands in this city. The cloudburst in the Loup valley the previous night made the sluggish Loup river a raging torrent, and to the volume of water was added the heavy rain of last night and all the low-lying part of the town was flooded to a depth from three to six feet. The danger point was not reached until nearly midnight, when occupants of the houses were forced to flee to higher ground. The situation was but little improved today, bot with no more rain it is thought that the water will soon recede. The other towns in the Loup valley j are in even worse condition. At Ful- j lerton, northwest of here, the depot is j surroumied by water to the depth of ! nearly five feet, and the water runs | through the building while the opera- j tor works his key. The Union Pacific is under water and trains are laid up here. Much of the track has been washed out fur- i ther west. The Platte river is beginning to rise, j and there are fears of floods in the | Platte bottoms further east, one of! the richest farming districts in the! state. j Since sev^n o’clock last night the i Loup river rose five feet. Much live- j stock was drowned south and west of t here, but there a re but two fatalities 1 to human life thus far. j
