A Heavy Rain.
North Platte wat. visited last
night by one ot the heaviest raitls
ever known, the total reaching 2.93
tichcB. Following so ctoscly the
teavy rains of the early part of the
week, which had completely soaked
the ground, the result today is that
many blocks in town arc covered
with water from two to four inches
in depth. Iu some portions ot
town can be seen expanses of water
covering several block.
Owing to the overflowing of sev
eral irrigating ditches in the west
part of town, the section juBt west
of the city is almost totally covered
with water ranging in depth trom
one to three feet. This water today
has been finding an outlet through
the streets running east and west
through the city. The streets
moBt effected are Front, Sixth
Fifth and Fourth. Fifth utrect
at the postoihec corner Ib
covered with a current lrom
curb to curb and about two feet
deep. Front street in the neigh
borhood of the lumberyards is even
deeper, and Fields' and hidings'
yards are covered to a depth of
nearly three feet.. Business in incr
canttlc lines is practically bus
pended,
More or less damage to lawns
and Hardens will result by reason
of this inundation, and at the three
lumber yards on West Front street
quite a large loss will occur by
reason ot the water raising to such
an extent as to cover and. water
soak the lumber piled on the
ground. Many ot the streets arc
covered with water and this' will
make extra work thereon necessary.
Trainmen coming iu from the west
this morning report tliu rainfall ap
parently heavier wc&t ot us than
here. It is probable that soilie
damage will runult to corn and
sugar beet fields in the valley.
