REFRESHING RAIN
RELIEVES v|N|TA
After Hottest Day of Summer Cooling
Rain comes-Many Heat Pros
trations Wednesday.

After sweltering under the hottest
sun of the summer all day yesterday
vinita and vicinity was refreshed by
delightful rain last night and the pros
poets of more rain today are bright.
The temperature yesterday was SO de-
grees maximum, with a drop of sew
eral degrees in the evening. The rain
was preceded and accompanied by one
of the worst electrical storms of the
year. Damage from the lightning is
reported from several places in the
county The rainfall north of Vinita
was evidently heavier than at this
place, as Bull creek and the two Cabin
creeks were considerably swollen to-
day. The rain came at time when
it was needed and the crops of this
county were greatly benefited.
While Vinita people thought the heat
yesterday almost unbearable, look at
the following heat records from the
northern or lake states.
