a be
Heaviest Storm
of Summer Sweeps
Over This Section
Ram South of City Almost Three
Inches and Downpour Brings
Ovtiflowing Creeks.
From Monday's Oany
The heat and humidity of Sunday
afternoon was climaxed last night at
midnight when an intense electric,
v ind and rain storm BWCBt down
on this section, the storm covering an
area of several miles and b-inging
with it one of the heaviest rains of
tlie season.
The rainfall just south of this city
was two and two-thirds inches and
in the city itself the fall was report
ed at an inch and a half and fell in
a very short time. The storm raged
for a short time and as the rain
ceased in the main part of the eify
a great volume of water from the
south and west came sweeping down
the Chicago avenue creek and soon
had this natural drainage ditch fill
ed to flood stage and the sewer inlet
at Tenth and Chicago avenue was
wholly inadequate to carry the wa
ter and the flooded creek soon was
pouring its waters into Chicago ave
nue and where it was swept on down
into the main section of the city, one
block on Pearl street and South Sixth
street from earl to Main being a
raging torrent, the water stretching
from curb to curb and sweeping on
into Main street where the waier was
handled very rapidly by the box sew
ers and little danger was experienced
along Main street, alilio on Sixth
street the water was a menace for
something like a half hour as the
main force of the flood water swept
along and over the curb along the
E. A. Wur! corner.
Fortunately the rainfall here
in the north territory draining
and
into
was
the Washington avenue creek
not as heavy as the south and
T lie
creek and sewers were able to carry
the water without an overflow, other
wise the storm would have brought a
real threat to many of the business
places in the main part of the city.
The Pappio creek south of Fort
Crock reached a flood stag; at 2
o'clock and the bridge on No. 75 was
in the midt o a ragfng current
sweeping across the highway,
stopping travel and which was sus
pended until about 5 o'clock when
the travel was able to be resumed.
The lowlands along the Pappio were
flooded by the storm water and much
damage done to the crops.
East of this city Pony creek north
of Pacific Junction reached flood
stage and carried out a portion of
the track on the K. C. line of the
Burlington, making necessary the
sending of all traffic on the main
line through this city, making very
heavy travel from midnight on
through the morning hours.
The Four Mile Creek west of this
city was out of its banks following
'he heavy rain and the belated resi
dents of that section were unable to
resell their tomes and many remain
ed In the city for the rest of the
night until the flood waters receded.
The Weeping Water creeK west of
Dnion was reported this morning a
being at flood stage and the highway
from the railroad tracks west to the
bridge over the creek west of the
town, had several feet of water
standing on it as the creek poured
out its hood waters and travel was
wery difficult through that section.
Lowlands along the creek were re
ported as being flooded by the wa
ters. Deputy Sheriff Young was at
I'nion this morning and looking after
the passage of the cars through the
flooded area and while travel was
difficult the cars were being moved
through the waters on the highway.
E0WHN STILL G01N
William Bowen, erstwhile painter
of tMs city, now sought on a charge
of forgery, is still one leap ahead of
the law apparentlv. while traces are
found of him he has always slipped
out of the net. The latest to be heard
of the man was at Springfield. Mis
souri, where he attempted to cash a
lira .t drawn on the Farmers State
bank of this city. The Missouri bank
called this city to learn if the draft
was all right and the numbers of the
Omaha exchange bank properly given
and thereby the cashing of the sight
draft was blew sky high. Cashier
Rae Patterson of the bank informed
the Missouri bank that not only was
the draft phoney but that the man
trying to put over the deal was
sought by the authorities here, and
that the Springfield police should be
notified. When the man was sought,
however, he was gone, fading into
the purpling haze of the " lordly
Ozarks and headed no man knoweth
where. The successful manner in
which Bowen lias dodged the law or
his journey bespeaks a wiseness that
was not apparent i:: his appearance.

attack came on Mr. Thomas early
Saturday but it was not considered
serious and after some hot applica
tions on the ankle he started in on
his regular work at the Missouri
Pacific station as agent. In a few
hours his condition was such that
he could not remain on duty and
had to summon aid from the other
operators who carried on the work at
the station until relief could be sent
here. Medical aid was called for Mr.
Thomas and it was found that his
temperature was rapidly mounting
and that the infection was of such a
nature that his care in the hospital
was deemed to be best and accord
ingly he was taken to the St. Joseph
hospital and placed in the Missouri
Pacific ward of the hospital for care.
At the last reports he was doing as
well as possible under the circum

effects of the infection and to resume
his usual activities.

"A party of picni; kers stopped at

Rains Over the
County Causes
Road Damage
Highways Near the Watercourses Are
the Chief Sufferers From the
Rains and Overflows
The heavy rains of Sunday after
noon and night over the eastern part
of Cass county has served to do a
great deal of damage to the highways
or the county and while not holding
up travel. wiU make necessary the
reconditioning of '.lie roads.
The chief sufferers from the storm
the county commissioners have
found, tire the ror'ds located in the
vicinity of watercourses and which
have been overflowed and in some
cases washed to a greater or less ex
tent and on the surfaced roads there
will be necessary the replacement of
gravel.
The bridges of the county over the
creeks have stood the fTood water in
excellent shape and while in some
cases approaches might be washed
the structures are uninjured altho
in many of the creeks the water
raised to river like proportions. In
the years post when the county
bridges were largely wooden struc
tures it was not uncommon to have
about half of the bridges in the "oun
ty out of commission after one of
the heavy rain storm and the coun
ty found the maintaining of the
bridges a real problem and one of
the largest items of the county ex
pense. In recent years the concrete
and steel structures have withstood
the elements in tine shape and prov
ed to be profitable investments for
the county.

the long time members of the Corps,
gave a ni;st pleasing outline of the
pleasant occasion in verse and which
was given to the Journal for print
ing, it being as follows:
With beans and ham and salad
Cheese, sandwiches and cake.
Everyone is full as can be.
And some have stomach ache
But then everyone is happy
So nobody complains
For what means a trifling headache
Or a few internal pains.
For today is extra special
Set apart from all the rest.
The one in the whole calendar
Some of us like the best
For this is the day Mrs. Tungate
Invites us here to play.
And feast and sing and visit.
And so we were on our way.
Bright and early this morning.
In Mr. Corner's bus.
He brought us in first class order.
Without any extra fuss
But strange things since have hap
pened. For it was whispered me.
Thai two guests had to buy dresses.
Now why ever should that be?
Were their dresses tight. I wonder,
And did those ladies fear
Some seams might break after lunch
eon. Well anyway, it's clear. t
That some where there's a mystery
About those dresses new.
I cannot solve, so ladies,
1 leave it up to you.
How grateful every one should be
Met with us here today.
And to our charming hostess.
What nice things we should say.
For all the good times she has made
For us, and tho we know.
She understands we're grateful.
We like to tell her so.
As years go by. and ranks are thinned
The memory of today.
Will ne'er by us forgotten be.
Such times can't pass away.
And when upon a fairer shore
We meet, in future years
These good old times will he recalled
Forgotten be all fears.
The ones who side by side on earth
Worked for their country's meal.
The joys of true fulfillness then.
With grateful hearts will feel.
And may the work that they began
Forever forward go
All honor to the W. R. C.
For much to them we owe.
