The Optic says rather remarkable hail
and rain storm visited Las Vegas Tuesday
evening. The quantity of water which
fell was large; and the quantity of hail,
which fell in places, was equally large.
The storm came from the northeast and
was accompanied by a great deal of light
ming. On the mesa, southeast of town,
the fall OF hail was quite heavy. Where
Center and Sixth streets come together, the
fall of hail seems to have been heaviest,
A majority of the roofs of business houses,
on the east side, were but badly prepared
for such a downpour of water, and for the
blocking of their cutters with hail. Con-
sequently, there was much leaking. The
A. o. U: W. hall, aud the Masonic hall,
seem to have suffered most on Railroad
avenue, together with the stores under
them. Col. Sewald and the Wells-Fargo
express building were the worst sufferers
on Center street. In many
places the occupants OF stores,
went upon the roofs and removed the
hail. W. T. Treverton says that the fruit
on his place is ruined but generally little
damage was done to crops or trees, the
hail being of very small size.
