rur sroRx.- Yesterday Phoebe =

TIE SToRx.- Yesterday Phoebe was
visited with quite heavy storm which,
for the time it lasted, was Of the same
character that has done 30 much mischief
in various parts Of the State. About 8
o'clock p. NJ. the windows of the
heavens were opened. and it hailed and
rained and blew in fine style, accompa-
MED with liberal supply Of thunder
and lightning. The hail fell in immense
quantities, and the particles were unusu.
ally large, some being quite o. large as
An ordinary sized marble. After the
hail ceased the rain came down in good
earnest, and in short time flooded
Main street with good sized stream.
We did not hear of but little damage
done. Some few cellars and buildings
in low places were flooded, but the loss
was quite trihing owing to the short du.
ration of the storm. In Chinatown, at
the lower end Of Main street, q good
many of the dwellings wherein the Mon.
polians dwelt in calm contentment, were
treated to o dose of cold water, that
caused an awful jabbering among their
inmates. However, beyond q little in.
convenience caused by an unlocked for
supply OF mud and water, little harm
was done. The torrent of water rushing
down Main street was at one time quite
considerable. but owing to the short
continuance Of the storm, the overflow
ran off as rapidly as it rose. Many Of
A. Lz,soo a,A naksnu -, A.
were flooded, more from lack Of prepare.
ton than anything else, but little injury
worthy OF notice was done. The rain,
however. paid its respects to the RECORD
Office, and for short time quite a stream
ran through the building, making the
type settlers and employees hunt better
quarters for the nonce. Owing, however,
to the short duration of the storm, things
soon assumed their ordinary routine.

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-John Feather
stone. Wells. Fargo l. Co. 8 messenger,
reports that an attempt was made to rob
the Salt Lake stage at station some
forty miles from Phoebe. While the
horses were being changed, man got
into the stage. and seizing Q
bar of bullion, attempted to carry 1t
of. Featherstone saw the fellow,
who endeavoredt to make off. Featherston
fred, causing the thief to drop the bar,
and then favored by the darkness, made
his escape. II is not known whether be
was wounded or not; at any rate he got
nothing but buckshot for his pains, and
It 10 probable they were somewhat pain
full.
No tidings have yet been obtained Of
the escaped convict George Lambert.
The officers are diligently searching for
him, but as yet have not dropped on the
hiding place of the gentle youth. Deputy
Sheriff Hoag yesterday received tele-
gram directing him to offer reward OF
$3.50 for the arrest OF the fugitive. We
hope some one will earn the reward.
