aRRAT WET FALL OF 40.
Floods Of These Days Do Not Equal
That Day.

Col. c. e. Clifford. late Of Clay Cen
ter, was o mine Of historical knowl-
edge. One OF his favorite stories was
Of the great wet fall Of lS49. He had
this story from one Of the pioneer
settlers and told it to the Clay Center
Times thus: ut was in the fall Of
the year '49 that the big rain came in
this part Of the country. There were
but few settlers along the Republican,
but on the Smoky Hill and at the
junction Of the two rivers, near
where junction City now stands.
many squatters had taken up their
abode and undertaken the job Of
peopling the earth.
"Well, the gates Of heaven were
opened just as they have been during
the past fortnight, and it rained, and
it rained, and the floods came, and
filed the valleys Of the Smoky Hill
and the Republican. Immense herds
of buffalo were engulfed in the flood
and drowned. Their carcasses drift
ed into the tops Of the trees lining
the streams and were lodged in the
forks, way up beyond reach, where
they remained when the waters sub
sided.
IA heavy frost followed the flood
and the buffalo carcasses were re-
frigerated. The settlers, who had
escaped to the bluffs, including few
rowing bands Of redskins, lived high
on buffalo steaks cut from the car
cases lodged on the lower branches
Of the trees, all during the winter,
but when the thaw came and the
zephyrs of spring set in from the
south there was change in the base
Of supplies, and the settlers went back
to fried oat.fi Then came summer
with Its hot winds, and the purifying
carcasses Of the buffalo, with which
every tree was laden, poisoned the
atmosphere, and an epidemic Of
cholera was the result. Only few
OF the pioneers we're left to tell the
story Of the catastrophe"
