CITY NEWS
RAIN POURS DOWN
Noisy Thunder Storm Visits St.
Paul Early In Evening.

small but able-bodied cloud burst
over ST. Paul shortly after Z O'clock
last night, and for few moments there
was a doWnpour Of rain that kept the
precipitation gauge at the weather sta
ton huStling to record the amount of
water that was falling.
The rainstorm was accompanied by
vivid lightning to which the thunder
clapped tumultuous applause. While
the electrical disturbance was enough
in the immediate vicinity to unnerve the
t1morous, little damage was done. A
flag pole on a Robert street Office
building protruded into the danger
zone and was shattered by bolt
The pedestrians caught in doorways
opposite the building shut their eyes
and awaited a charred finish, but moth
ing more serious struck them than
several weather-Worn splinters that
were scattered on Robert street They
were eagerly snatched up and taken
home as proof of how near the pos
SCISSORS were to death.
The German Lutheran church, Hope
and Margaret streets, was struck. and
section of shingles ripped off the
roof. The bolt continued on into the
ground and the building escaped a
fire.
The down town streets were flooded
above the cutters in short time, as the
volume Of water was too great for the
sewers to carry it off, Passengers
altghting from street cars during the
storm were in a quandary. Miniature
torrents, raging to the best of their
ability, blocked progress to the shell
tered. doorways long enough to cause
the unlucky traveller to pause, and the
briefest kind of a pause~was all that
was required to get drenched.
The advent of the storm was herald
ed by a portentous skyscape, made of
dark masses of formidable looking
clouds, each appearing as if 1t might
be harboring a tornado or two in it's
sooty interior. AS a matter of fact,
the clouds were nothing but wet and
possessed of the best intentions.
Before the sky had cleared there was
a decided improvement in the lawns,
where the grass was soon coming up
hand over hand and getting greener
every minute. The buds on the trees
popped out into leaves as the last lin
gering drops fell, so that it hardly
looked like the same old front yard.

might so have to exPend would be about

into the making of said agreement with

these plaintiffs in making a sale of said
