ABILENE GETS HEAVY RAIN.
The Water Came Down in Torrents
and Filled Parts Of Town.
[From Saturdays Daily.l

lrrom Saturdays Daily1
Yesterdays extremely hot weather
and sultry atmosphere eliminated
last night in one Of the most disas.
trous rains Abilene has experienced
in long while and was second only
to the one that fell the day Of the
flood.
The conditions we're very similar
to those before the flood in that the
excessive moisture Of the last two
weeks had thoroughly soaked the
ground and when last nights down
pour did come, it had no place to 60
except into the cutters, which were
filed in a short time and overhowed
sending the water rushing down the
streets and into yards and cellars.
Most of the trouble seems to have
been from the poor grading Of the
streets and the lack OF work on the
big ditch north Of town, which is
used to carry off the water from the
hills.
The rain which started about II
O'Clock was preceded by a severe
electrical storm and keep falling in
torrents until after 5. At 7 o'clock
this morning the residence district
between Fourth and Sixth streets
was a lively lake with a depth Of
about three feet. For several blocks |
north Of the Rock Island depot the
water was from foot to three feet |
deep.
A total Of three inches of water fell |
here and seems to have extended two
miles north, while from there on up
to Clay Center and Talmage the
country had good steady rain.
junction City had an inch and half,
but between there and Detroit it was
heavier.
Mud creek was on another tear but
lacked several feet OF OVERLOOKING.
The river came up seven feet last
night and is still rising.
Considerable damage was done
from water filling the cellars and
soaking into buildings.
The wind blew the door open into
Q. s. Crawford's Office, letting the
rain in on the floor and running down
INTO Townsend's drug store. Water
went in the open window Of Felty &
Winners office damaging some things

The north wall Of the building owned

vas saturated but no further damage
vas done. Many cellars in the bust
less part had water in them as well
IS those throughout town.
A number Of people were down
own when the rain started and they
ay it was practically impossible to 5
et home for several hours.

A good sized crowd was at the old
fair grounds yesterday afternoon to
see the ball game between Abilene
and Enterprise, and seemed to enjoy
it greatly, although the grand stand
had been taken down and hauled
away and seats we're at premium.
The game was interesting through
out and abounded In clean, snappy
play that keep the result in doubt
until the last man was out. Abilene's
infield accepted every chaDce without
the least sign Of an error and Shearer
made some stops that would have
done credit to 9 national Lacquer.

ball but Giles had all the best Of 1t,

both teams.
