country for miles around. The
picnickers had scattered all over
the hills and the valley and the
rain came so suddenly that none
of the hundreds of children and
adults could get to shelter and
had to take it. The pouring rain
and the scampering women and
children made the scene indescrib-
able. The water soon became
knee deep and one lady tainted
twice and nearly drowned. The
gentlemen and youths acted nobly
in affording all assistance they
could, carrying women and child

ty than it did in San Antonio on
Saturday night OF May I'd when
we had nearly three-inch rian'
