Yesterday, this city was not left out, but
happily no serious consequences ensued.
During the afternoon it was noticed that
large black cloud was settling on the
mountain to the eastward, in the vicinity
OF the summit. About 80 O'Clock the
cloud implnged on the mountain, SEEM
ing to divide in two parts, and simulta-
neously perfect torrent of water began
to pour down the ravine, carrying sand |
ana rubbish in its course. In few mo-
ments the sewers on Main street were
ehoked with sand, and the water began
to encroach on the sidewalks on the |
north side of Main street, not in sufi- |
cient volume, however, to enter the |
houses, the entrances to which are con- |
siderably higher than the walk. During |
the flow OF water from above, which |
continued for about an hour, q heavy
rain was falling. At the conclusion of
the Hood the roadway and the sidewalks
on the north side of Main street we're
covered to depth of from three inches
to one foot with granite sand which had
been carried down by the water. The
greatest force of the flood was expended
on the hill on the north side of the ra.
vine in which the town is situated. On
Court street an immense volume of
water poured down, threatening de-
struction to several residences. The
residence Of General J. E. Rocker was
at one time threatened, and it WIS only

The people of Reno have exhibited
good sense in organizing committee for
the protection of her people. In this
little country town not night passes
but some hoodlum endeavors to force his
way into private residences. Complaints
of the kind are brought to us, and We
can suggest no remedy beyond the free
use OF cold steel and leaden pills. Let
the people get together and organize
themselves into protection society.
The ruffians will soon learn the fact and
govern themselves accordingly. The
town ordinances have been proved a
farce, and there is no other way than to
organize vigilance committee for the
protection of citizens. Carson Tribune,

AgTEMAs WARD used to say that every
man has his forte, and we believe it. Ed
Keisle, formerly of White Pine, has a
weakness for being Secretary of every
public gathering that takes place where
he may happen to reside. We have seen
him in White Pine out rustling for hours
among the boys to be elected Secretary
of the most trihing town meeting that
could be conceived. Ed has not chopped
on himself since going to Salt Lake.
He was Secretary of the Gentle Conven.
ton Of Utah which nominated Baskin
for Delegate TO Congress the other day
