A heavy rain visited Yuma last
Tuesday afternoon. 1t literally
poured down, for about two hours
making the streets miniature
rivers, and doing some damage
to houses having insecure roofing.
Most of the houses in Yuma are
built without any reference to
rains, as it has very seldom been
known to rain here, excepta little
sudden dash for few minutes,
about once a year. This summer,
the comet or something else has
caused a great change. Only a
few weeks ago we had a>ifine
sOaBing rain aats ss,.iiz>>----, 5,i0wery
weather for several days. which
ast0ni7hed all Oid residents. There
! is evidently something going on
in the great laboratory Ct natura
that we are unable to fathom.
