One of the worst electrical storms visiting this section for years was that of last Sunday night, accom panied by an immense volume of water, that might almost be termed a cloud burst. The storm was even worse up the valley to points beyond Sargent, six inches of rain being re ported at various points. The Middle Loup showed the effects the following morning when the water reached the highest stage reported in 32 years, making of the river a regular torrent. Hundreds of people went down to the river that morning, which reached within a foot or two of the flooring of the west and south bridges early, and in spite of the calmness of the weath er the waves ran three and four feet high, forming a fascinating sight.
