The stosm which passed oyer the
city yesterday evening was quite severe
in parts of town. The rain came down
in torrents, flooding the streets and
cutters, and washing the unpaved roads
very considerably. The wind also
played pranks and loose shingles and
boards torn from buildings were driven
wildly through space. A fine shade
tree in the corner of the Park at the
intersection of Guernsey street and
Central avenue was uprooted. 1t was
thought by parties who examined it
last evening that the tree can be placed
in position again, but this is hardly
likely to be successfully accomplished.
citizen sportsman, whose observa-
ton is generally occupied in such mat
tiers says there will be plenty of quail
the coming season. 1t was supposed
that the continued cold weather last
January and February had almost ex-
terminated the game birds throughout
this section, but this appears to have
been erroneous. Reports from the
country districts say quail are seen in
numbers and the chicks are seen in
large broods, and are thriving. This
will be agreeable news to the crack
wing shots of the town.
