Old Sol ruled supremely during the
morning, and sem. his rays down with
such accuracy that the heat was almost
unbearable by noon. During the morn
ing there was not a cloud to interfere
with the suns rays. A breeze blew up
strongly from the west shortly after
noon, however, and the skies were soon
filled with large threatening banks of
vapor. At 1870, the face of the sun
could not be seen, and within fifteen
minutes the city was enveloped in dense
waves of dust which were blown from
the west on the wings OF a terrific gale.
II was at first thought -that the storm
of two years ago was about TO be re-
peated, but, fortunately the wind
caused little OF no damage. No trees
were uprooted and no branches broken
The storm passed over the city speedily
and was followed by heavy downpour
OF ram. Pluvius oavor.ed for nearly an
hour
The temperature dropped quickly AT
O'Clock, the official record at the
weather bureau was 80 degrees, and at
o CLOCK 1t had fallen to 73, drop of
nearly 20 degrees in an hour
