The rain OF Tuesday afte. noon was
the heaviest known in this locality for
many years. The streets OF Rocky Ford
were like creeks, sidewalks were lifted,
cellars and easements filed, fine lawns
invaded by broad rivers of muddy water.
The Rocky Ford ditch overflowed its
banks in town, adding to the flood OF
water everywhere visible. The rain con.
tiDued during the most OF Tuesday night.
Irrigation problems have all been settled
temporarily and stock men are well
pleased with the fine prospects for good
grass.

He Does Patrol Duty Every Night ON
Post 10.

A large black Newfoundland dog, the
property of st. Patrick's Catholic Club.
has become so attached to the various
patrolmen that are assigned to post 10
that he invariably goes around the post
with the officer on duty. The canine,
though comparatively a pup, has a well
earned reputation as a cat fighter As a
result of the pugnacious tendencies of this
dog not a few residents in he vicinity
of the Catholic Club MOURN the loss of a
pet pussy. Scarcely a night passes that
the dog, while accompanying his friend
the patrolman, does not have a mixup
with whatever tabbies stray across his
path. The cats always come out second
best. and in some cases the dog succeeds
in killing them. The officers have at
tempted to prevent this dog from doing
away with the ~felines, but his ~antipathy
ito these animals causes him to fight
everyone he sees. He is a very fine

LACK OF FUNDS.
Reason Why District Cannot Clean
Away Snow and Ice.


Referring TO complaints of the failure of
the District authorities to remove snow
and ice from the street crossings and gut
tiers after the storm of last week, Mr.. War
ner Stutler. the superintendent OF street
and alley cleaning, stated to a Star reporter
today he was unable to have the work done
because the sum of s1.00O allowed for such
work had been exhausted
This amount" explained Mr. Stutler.
gave out some time ago. and until Con-
gress gives us more money We will be I'M
able TO do anything in the matter The
Commissioners, as was stated in The Star
at the time, recently asked for an emer-
gency appropriation of 5000, and we hope
to receive that sum in a few days. 1t has
been demonstrated that 81 900 is too small
an amount to cover the work in any sea-
son, for last year, when there was very
little snow, we were compelled to draw
upon the emergency fund to help US out,
having exceeded the appropriation by over
a hundred dollars"
Mr.. Stutler remarked that he has received
the streets, and said that only on two
days this month has it been possible to
clean the streets by the machines
when the streets are wet or covered by
slush or mud the machines are practically
useless, whereas, if we were authorized to
clean them by hand he stated, there
would be very few days, indeed that we
If the weather continues dry for a few
days, we will be able to work the ma
chimes, but to use them when the streets
are wet or slushy is really to waste the
money. for 1t is impossible then to clean
the streets in a satisfactory manner"

CARS AN OBSTRUCTION.
Complaint by Night Force of Gov
eminent Printing Office.

The District Commissioners have receiv-
ed a letter from Mr.. r. L. S, Halpenny of
116 f street northeast stating that the en-
ployes of the night force of the govern
ment printing office who live in the north
east section of the city, have trouble nearly
every morning in crossing the tracks of
the B. and O.. railroad. He charges that the
crossing at the intersection of Massachu-
sets and Delaware avenues is frequently
Obstructed by trains from five to twenty
minutes at a time. Several times the cross
ing was INSTRUCTED from seven to twelve
minutes by his watch. He asks that po-
liceman lie stationed there about 3 80 am
to enforce the law prohibiting the closing
of a crossing for more than five minutes.
The Commissioners have referred the
complaint to the chief of police for his
action
