DAMAGE IS DONE
BY CLOUDBURST
wall OF Water Sweeps Down From the Foothills
NEAR the Old Corbley Ranch--Bridges Are Car
ried Away and Gardens Submerged.

The recent heavy rains in this vi
cinity, as well as over the county gen.
orally, reached a climax Sunday morn
ing, when at about II o'clock cloud
burst occurred near the old Corbley
ranch, alon gthe foot of the Judith
mountains, and in an instant a wall
of water commenced to sweep down
the valley. The flood took the Boyd
and Breed creek water courses, usu-
ally entirely dry at this season, but
they were not sufficient to contain half
of the torrent which swept on and car
ried out practically all of the bridges
along the Gilt Edge road as far as
Kelly's ranch.
Damage Done to Gardens.
The flood plowed channel through
Ed. Fabian's place, out toward the
fair grounds, doing great amount OF
damage to his gardens, and also
swept over Emil Plum's grounds and
destroyed lot of vegetation there
George w. Bauleys fine garden was
completely flooded, but there was nc
current back of the water when il
reached his place, and the damage
done there, while considerable, was
less than at the other gardens. Ths
cloud burst was one of the heaviest
ever witnessed here, as evidenced by
the wall Of water that rolled down the
valley,
Wood Choppers Run a Race.
A portion of the flood suddenly le
loose fell well up on the foothills, ant
near there small party was engaged
in getting out wood. They saw wha
had happened instantly, and being OF
the wagon, went down the - hill a!
fast as their nags could travel. Hal
they been caught on the slope by thu
rushing water, the result might hav,
been serious, but they managed to ge
on the level ground all right, and es
capped without any mishap. Owing t.

the conductor came around he ter

refused to pay and was put off the

from Winston. He walked 10 the sta
ton and took another train. Il is not
known how much the company paid
Mr.. Nolan, but he is credited with
having said he received about 80 cents
for every step he took. II was ex-
pected the trial would have been an
interesting one and would have
brought before the courts the right
of railway to exact a penalty fol
failure to purchase a ticket.

Many Rumors Ahoat.

1t was not this action that caused
the stir, however, but rumors to the
effect that the county attorney had a
long list of persons who had partici.

that all would be 'pulleds' while the
list of witnesses was described as one
of appalling length. II was said that
all who had been in the habit of even
playing a social game for the drinks
