DISLIKED BY NATURE
Towns That Seem to Be Chosen
Marks Of the Elements.
where Rain Falls Heaviest, snow
Lies Thickest and Thunder AID
Lightning Exhibit the
Greatest Violence.

There is more than one town against
which Dame Nature seems to harbor
a curious spite. as if she would say:
This site is not meant to build upon"
Laugtoft, a little place of some 600
people in the East Riding of Yorkshire,
England, is one of these. Over and
over again has the weather all round
been fine and clear, yet the valley in
which Langtoft stands has been
shrouded in heavy clouds and drenched
with rain. The snow in winter always
seems TO lie thickest on the wolds
above the town. and to cause floods
more or less disastrous as it melts in
the spring.
The climax came on Sunday even
ing two summers ago, says the Chicago
Tribune.
After a hot day violent thunder
storm broke. Then there appeared in
the west an inky cloud, from which
hung four long, twisting black col
umns.
Suddenly, just after six o'clock, wall
of water came roaring down the hill
side above the village. When it struck
the upper end of the street it was seven
feet high. In twinkling it had demol-
ished a number of houses, and torn par
titiOns from others, and swept away
everything in its path. What was left

Sccorro, N. M, Oct. 27.-Indications
lead to believe that there will be a lit
tie boom in Socorro in the nea future.
The large number of mining men that
are seen dropping in and out of the
Socorro county seat, shows that there
is a revival in mining interests. Some
improvements and building in business
properties also show that some good
times are in store for Socorro, and are
expected to develop during the winter.
p. N. Yonker, proprietor of the Wind
sor hotel, has a stone foundation laid
for a fine brick carriage and black
smith shop. 1t is being built of Socorro
brick and is located on the south side
of Main street, west of T. c. Browns

is undergoing some repairs. Paint and
paper is being used in a lavish and
stylish manner.
The Colorado Bell long distance tele-
phone system has put a number of

people, will be extensive. Capt. E. j.
