Another Cloud Burst.

dispatch to San Francisco Call, August ISL
A heavy rain-storm, accompanied by
thunder and lightning, set in at this place
shortly after o'clock this evening, and in
few minutes after foot of water was
running through the streets. Some Indians
encamped on the hills on the south side of
the canyon on which the town is built,
rushed in a body to a hill overlooking the
town, making frantic gestures, indicating
impending danger. A moment afterwards
horseman galloped through the canyon
crying, 8 Water water To the hills
to the hills and Immediately behind him
followed roll of turbid water eight feet
in height, which swept through the town
like an avalanche, carrying destruction
with it. For a few minutes nothing could
be heard but the cracking of timbers, fall
ing awnings, the crush of buildings, and
the deafening roar of the torrent. People
fled to the hills, and there in crowds wit
messed the scene of destruction. Fortu-
nately no lives were lost, as far as known.
1t is impossible to accurately estimate the
amount of loss at present, but it cannot fall
short of 100000.

sick earle last week, with raising blood, and
Notwithstanding all that could be done for
it, died on Thursday. At post norton
examination, conducted by Drs. Sherwin
and Sperry, it was discovered that the cause
of death was genuine bleeding at the lungs,
which we are given to understand is some-
thing entirely unheard of in medical records,
the popularity of the case consisting in the
fact that the boy was only "a days Old
