ter being from two to three feet high for
about two car lengths At Bowman's the
water burst through dwelling and filled
it two feet high with stones, mud and rub
bish. But the storm was much greater IN
the country southeast of town, Judging
from the volume of water that came out
of the streams the rain, which had
cleared after q few minutes, commenced
again at about ak o'clock and lasted for
more than an hour in Wellsburg, but the
black heavy cloud which passed to the
southeast led people 10 believe that
hesyy rain was falling in that direction.
The streams during the night came
down in torrents, far surprising anything
in the recollection of old inhabitants.

mostly women and children, several Of
them being babies, but no one was hurt
and all got along we'll under the circum-
