Glorious Rain

The big rain of Sunday night ex'
tended well over the state and into
Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. Wes-
tern Kansas seemed to come In for
but small portion, but the eastern
portion of the state got good thor
ougt wetting.
This section got a good soaking
The ground was so dry that 1t seemed
to take 1t all up and but little went
to waste. There was probably over
an inch of water fell here. Salina
and Emporia seemed to get the
heaviest part of the storm. The rain
was accompanied In most places by
strong wind and considerable hail.
Emporia experienced young cy-
clone that made things lively Tor
awhile in narrow strip 10 the south
part OF the city. No very serious Or
extensive damages were done. Out
houses and barns were blown down
and few roofs blown of. Telephone
and telegraph poles we're demolished
In this strip and some freight cars on
Santa Fe sidings damaged. One lady
near Emporia was bio Sn into a big
hedge and severely bruised, In this
locality we simply had fine big rain
with sprinkle of hail. Since the
rain it has been quite chilly and raw.
There is nothing now to hinder
crops from growing rapidly as soon As
The sun gets q chance to take the
chill out of the air.
