saving the building where the flames
had gained great headway.
Mr. Brown was at his farm home
while other members of the family
were at church services. Much of the
furniture was saved but the residence
was badly damaged by fire and water.
The loss was partially covered by
insurance.
This dwelling was the former John
C. Man property, and was the first
house to be built on that entire block.
A number of years ago it was moved
to its present location and had been
remodelled.
Occurring early In the evening it
drew large crowds of towns folks to
the scene to watch the firemen In
their fight against the flames.
Unofficial estimates place the flood
of last week In the states of
Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri
at 941,000.000, with Indications
that the losaea might be higher.
