FLORENCE, A. t., March THE
town of Florence was visited by heavy
storm of hail and wind, followed shortly
after by terrific cloud burst, that liked
to collapsed the town and placed its
modern structures into heaped pile of
ruins. Within an incredibly short space
of time water four feet in depth was
surging through the principal streets
of the town and inside of an hour walls
began to cave and roofs to fall in. The
scene was a weird one. From o'clock
in the evening till midnight. men could
be seen wading to their necks in water,
rescuing women and children from the
falling houses and partly submerged
domiciles. The house of Rev. Gerard,
Catholic priest, was almost completely
destroyed; the roof OF the Enterprise Of
fee fell and the walls caved in. Ten pri-
vateresidences were also wash ed away and
destroyed. The local loss to the town is
$4,000. Crops suffer considerably.
The river rose ten feet and is still rising
at on average of foot and half an
hour. The river crossing between Flor.
enoe and Silver King is one sheet of
rampant water, half mile wide. A
large force of men are engaged in clear
ing the wreck and impeding the en-
croachment of the river.
