Charlie Corker Describes Storm in the Rocky
Mountains.

The following is an extract from letter
from Charles f. Corker, second son of Mr.
JohnR Corker, of this place, Charlieis out
in the Rocky Mountain region with his
grandfather, Mr. NJ B. Osborn, The oct
ter is dated Mount Nebo, Utah Territory,
MAY T. and, for so young 4 boy, we think
the description quite interesting
| will give you u short description of the
storm we had on the mountains yesterday
The morning was fine, and | started out
in company with Mr.. Nelson lin our shirt
sleeves to find the Blue Bird Mine
We walked about four miles over tall hills,
and through ravines then went up a steep
canyon about two miles Until this time,
the day had been warm, but now it began
to grow cold, and We quickened our pace
to keep warm. We soon left the canyon,
and commenced climbing the side of the
mountain, but had gained only about half
the desirad distance when we heard thun-
der and, looking TO the northwest, saw
large black cloud, just leaving the western
mountains. and coming straight for US
We knew it meant business, and tried to
find some Overhanging cliff, for shelter,
but had scarcely started when we felt
few drops of rain and then it grew dark.
The cloud was upon Us, and it became too
dark 10 look for any protection from the
rain, which fell in tOrrentS,-the wind
blew, the lightning flashed, the thunder
roared and crashed until the mountains
shook as if they were coming up by the
roots, and the echo Of the thunder. in the
mountains and against the cliffs was even
worse than the first report 1t lasted
about half an hOur-then cleared away.
and the sun shone as bright as if it
knew nothing about the storm. We were
wet and freezing, but resumed our climb
ing, found the place we wished, and were
about starting home, when up came
another cloud, and we had repetition of
the first, with hailstones as big as marbles,
by way of variety When we went up in
the morning the road was quite dry,
and when we returned it had Il stream Of
water about four feet deep running down
it with the rapidity of lightning, and on
looking about half mile to the right we
could see where it came off the mountain
falling over perpendicular cliffs from
three to five hundred feet high, and bring
ing with it rocks from the size of man S
head to some as large as cook stove. 1t
was grand sight, and one that is not wit
messed every day.

Maj Beardsley, county clerk, has or
dered printed, at this Office, blank bills
with blank affidavit and certificate attach
ed, for the use of all people who have any
claims against the county. A few will be
furnished to each township Supervisor, for
the use Of his constituents who have claims
against the county, aud all bills against
the county must be made out in this form,
as prescribed by the Board of Supervisors
The resolutions of the Board, requiring
this, are printed on the back of the bill so
that all can see what is required. The
Board meets next week, Tuesday. If any
any bills have been handed in without
complying with this form it would be well
for those owning them to withdraw them
and make them out according to the new
plan, as it may save delay in getting them
allowed
