HARTINGTON — Tuesday evening this community was visited by one of the most terrific rain storms ever witnessed in the history of this country and was quite general over Cedar County. Rainfall measuring 3.55 came down in torrents, with strong wind in about one and one-half hours.
The damage by floods to county bridges and roads, crops and livestock cannot be estimated at this time. Reports from different parts of the County are that many bridges are washed away and damaged and that roads are not passable.
About a quarter of a mile of railroad track one and one half miles south of town, near Peter Schmidt’s farm, is out and the grade is washed away.
Seventy-five men are at work repairing the track and there is nothing definite as to when trains will run or when mail will be received. Telegraph poles and wires are also down.
