Heaviest Rainstorm In History Of
City-Farmers Lose Heavily.
Oshkosh, Wis, May 26.-The heaviest
rain storm that there is any record Of
in this city fell here Saturday, after
noon. It is said in some parts Of the
city to have been cloudburst. The
streets in the business portion of the
city were inundated and carried tor
rents Of water to the river, the water
reaching from curb to curb and over
flowing crossings and sidewalks. Cel-
lars and yards were flooded and in the
outskirts numerous chickens were
drowned. After time the deluge was
turned TO hail and there was mucn
damage done to gardens and fruit.
the storm was particularly hard south
of the city and reports say that the
farmers have lost heavily. A report
reached this city that the city of Cli1-,
tonville had been struck by a cyclone
and that twenty persons had been
killed or injured. Investigation. how
ever, shows the report to he unfounded.
Stevens Point reports heavy storm,
but only slight damage. Wires are
working to all points north, which
would indicat, the absence of tor
nado.
