llrukeu How a Wet Town.
As a result of the heavy rains of
Friday afternoon aud night , the
creek became a surging river.
The tiling on Fourth and Fifth
avenues , where the streets cross
l lie creek , failed to carry away the
water , mid the walks and streets at
these points suffered , severely from
the effects of the flood.
The water raised so high that
the walk on Fifth avenue was par
tially covered Jaud the struct for
several rods completely submerged.
A force of men with picks aud
shovels , tore up the walks on
both streets iind dug ditohos for
the water to pans over the tiling ,
after which it quickly washed away
tlio dirt , lonving the tiling exposed.
F. E Taylor's cellar was flooded ,
as also was the cellar und yard at
the Midwny laundry.
Many took advantage of the op
portunity and indulged m boating.

In panning over a wire fence , in a

boat , leaving its occupants in a very
uncomfortable position , and but

Miss Baird might have at least re
