SUNDAYS STORM.

The past week has been one of the
stormiest that has ever visited this
county The wind and rain Satur
day nightsnd Sunday was something
terrifhesin threatening to destroy
everything that came in its way.
While no damage was done in town,
we heat' that great deal of property
was destroyed in the West end IF the
county. Especially was this the ease
in the Cove and lower part of
Thompson Valley.
Ia the former location fences were
blown down, sugar orchards destroy
ed, barns acd other out houses were
blown away as chatf .befors the storm
king. Iu Thompson Valley several
houses and barns we're blown down al
also a'great deal OF fencing
All the small rivulets were turned
iDto regular torrents throughout the
county aud some parts of the coun
ty were inaccessible for several days
owing to the high waters.
The trains on the N. & W. were
delayed for several days, no trains
going through at allsgnesday. At
Pounding Mill a slide $50 feet long
blocked the road, while Big Bull tun
mel, near Virginia City, was in. The
above is the same tunnel which caus.
ed so much trouble few years ago
The damage to the railroad company
is considerable, but at this time no
estimate as to tie loss can be made.
Or Elkhorn the damage was much
greater than in Tazewell county.
Trestles and bridges as we'll as the
bsd,of the road was washed out, and
trains were ahnulled for some
days.
There were FIVE persons drowned
In Russell county. aud also four. and

Now we have never asked
any of you fellows who have
not paid up your subscriptions
lately for any money, and we
are not going to, through the
columns of the Star, for we
don't have to have it. We
have got as much to eat as
any one ought to want.
Plenty of bread and butter
and water and pi printers pD
and meat once a month, and
if we get real weak we get sc
worth of onions, and you know
they are strong, but notwith-
standing all these good things
we are getting hungry for
some of that old-time custard
pie like our grandmother used
to make, and as Christmas will
soon be here, we would like
to have some for dinner on
that day. We have a few
chickens and we will try and
coax them to lay an egg or
two between now and then,
and we've got the flour; SO
you see if we just had the
money to buy the milk, we
would be SO happy.
O, we do like custard pie,
but we are not going to ask
you fellows to pay up these
hard times if we have to do
without it.
