The ground wns not thirsty in fact it
was fuller than any of Judge Hayes
patrons ever hoped to become and eaoh
piece of property passed tho cup to its
neighbor with a readiness that attested
to its bitterness Residents of tho west
end were again apprised of the fact that
they had encroached upon a well recog
nized waterway about 1230 by hearing
the roar of the flood as it again sought
admission to their homeB and tho only
satisfaction they had was in thinking
that all the damage possible had been
done by the rush of water of two nights
before What had been done toward
repairing the damage of tho preceding
flood had to be done over again as a
matter of course but they are getting so
accustomed to that sort of work that life
would seem awry did they not have it
to perform at irregular intervals
Although the precipitation was lesB
than au inch the government gauge
recording at 83 the entire nmouut
seems to have sought tho Elkhom
through the gulch aud it iB believed
that tho water rose almost or quite a
high as on Weducsday morning but
the Hood failed to make a showing as
far east as ou tho previous date
The precipitation of last night now
brings the total for the mouth up to
eight inches which is certainly a re
markable showing for a period of two
weeks but three quarters of an inch
having been recorded during the first
seven days of the month
