One of Heaviest
Storms of the
Year Sunday
Rainfall of Over Two Inches Falls
in An Hour and Causes a
Slight Overflow. . -
From Monday's Dally
Last evening from 5:4a to 7
o'clock this city was visited by one
of the heaviest rains of the season
and in which a record of 2.16 inches
of rainfall was recorded at the gov
ernment weather bureau at the Bur
lington station.
The storm followed a day of un
usual closeness and humidity and
that a severe storm was the cul
mination was not surprising as the
heavy banks of clouds that commenc
ed to roll up in the northwest at
4:30 was a warning of the approach
of the storm and caused the more
timid minded to hasten to their
homes in anticipation of the coming
storm.
The rainfall filled the streets with
water in a few moments after the
storm opened up and the sewers of
North and South Sixth street were
able to carry the volume of water
nicely until after the rain had ceas
ed when the flood waters from the
northwest part of the city swept
down on the main section of the
city. The volume of water which is
drained from a very large territory
was much too great for the sewer on
Washington avenue to handle and as
the result the overflow swept on
down to the business section and
had North 6th street from Main to
fiifth filled from curb to curb for
minutes and a part of the flood water
swept on into Main street and was
carried on to the river bottoms.
There was no damage to property
reported as the result of the rain
and the overflow proved no worse
than to furnish a little excitement
for the Sunday evening crowds who
watched the flowing of the flood wa
ter with the greatest interest.
The bottom land east of the Bur
lington station was swept by the
flood waters and the baseball park
was under several feet of. water for
some time and the overflow swept
over onto the August Bach farm and
gave William Roedecker, who re
sides there, some extra work in keep
ing the water out of the house as
It rose to the depth of several feet
around the farm house.
RAIN DELAYS TRAVELERS
From Monday's Daily
The heavy rainstorm late yester
day afternoon was the cause of a
large number of auto tourists being
held up in this city for the night
and the garages were kept busy with
their repair outfits in getting cars out
of ditches and mud over the city
where some ventursome driver had
got his car into difficulties by get
ting off the pavement. Several tour
ists who sought to get out on their
way to Omaha found themselves
caught in the eight miles of road
that intervenes between here and
the graveled road at Fort Crook and
with the result that they were lying
along the roadside between here and
the fort and requiring the assistance
of the repair outfits to rescue them.
The hotels of the city were well filled
last night by the tourists who wise
ly concluded to store their cars and
wait for better weather conditions
before traveling on their way.
RETURNS FROM OUTING
From Monday's Dally

bury and little daughter, and Coun
ty Attorney W. G. Kleck who have
been vacationing at Parkers Falls,

found a great deal of damp and chilly
weather and also that the fishing
was not the best as the lateness of
the season has caused the fish, to
cease their biting. However the
Judge and the prosecuting attorney
were able to while away many hours
very pleasantly In seeking the elusive
fish and in which they found many
a real pleasurable hour. The trip
was made by auto and allowed the
members of the party the opportun
ity of viewing many points of in
terest along the way.
