For Hint.
Seven room house, two blocks east
of Watson's store. John O'KijRrc.
The storm of rain, sleet and snow,,
which prevailed over a greater portion
of the west last Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, did its share of damage in
and around Alliance. It is said to
have been the heaviest fall of moisture
in these parts for many years, and
streets and excavations all over the
town were more or less filled with wa
ter. The heaviest loser as a result of
the storm here h A. D. Rodgcrs, who
loses from $500 to Si, 000 from damage
of stock stored in the basement of his
business block. Owing to the lack of
sewerage to carry off the rainfall, the
gutters at the north of the building
were flooded and the water swept
through a window that was destroyed
by its force. Mr. Kndgcrs Jms not, as
yet, made an investigation of bis loss
in detail, but it will very likely amount
to Si, 000. Following the heavy rain,
cold wether set in yesterday and Tues
day night there was a heavy frost that
no doubt did considerable damage to
the potatoes still remaining in the
fields.
The Horace Bogue store too suffered
damage from the flood. Mr. Bogue
uses the basement thc.reof for storage
purposes and water poured through
the west side of that to the extent that
a thousand dollars worth of hosiery and
other goods were water soaked and
damaged and will have to be disposed
of at a sacrifice. We are informed
that this damaged stock will be put on
special sale in a short time.
The estimated amount of precipita
tion was 2i inches during this rainfall.
Denver where ho will have charge of
the yards for the Colorado & Southern
Co. The Burlington never had a man
here who gavo better satisfaction than
has Mr. Wright; a hustler and a thor
ough railroad man, always pleasant.1
and accommodating, popular with the
public and his fellow employes. The
change is made owing to the increased
salary and preference of living in Den
ver where himself and Mrs. Wright
resided for several years before coming
to Alliance, however, both say that no
where have they formed acquaintances
and friendship which they value more
than at Alliance and wc know that they
have many friends hero who sincerely
regret to see them leave.
Mr. Wright will be succeeded by
Mr. Campbell who has been yardmaster
at Edgcmont.
