What was nothing more nor less
than a cloudburst last evening gave
Pendleton and Umatilla county the
worst drenching it has had in years
and undoubtedly did more damage
than any rain storm in long period.
Considerable grain on hillsides was
washed out, county roads were made
almost impossible, Easements were
flooded. sidewalks were put afloat,
deep gullies cut in hillside streets,
lawns washed out and a great deal
of other minor damage done.
The storm began shortly before
$3.50 with a sudden precipitation Of
hail stones. This was followed by a
torrential downpour OF rain that last
ed without any decrease In violence
for a period of a half hour. Accom-
panying 1t were terrific volleys Of
thunder and vivid flashes of light
ming. Though the official instrument
shows that the total rainfall was
only .5S of an inch, to some it seem
ed that it could only be measured in
feet.
Soon every street in the city was
coursing stream of muddy water and
everything that was floatable was
being swept away. Those living at
the bottoms of the hills suffered the
most, the water pouring down upon
and flooding their premises. House
holders with shovels were soon out
in the storm trying to divert the wa
ters into the streets, some without
avail.
Streets Are Gullied.
Many of the streets are in need OF
improvement today as a result of the
storm. The south Main street hill is
cut into gullies and bitches, one OF
which is three feet deep, and all OF
the dirt was washed away, leaving
the gravel base clean and bare. The
Franklin street grade is in similar
condition. In the flats at the base of
the hills mud several inches deep was
deposited on streets and sidewalks
alike and the O.-W. R. & \. yards

grave fears for his welfare.
He was last seen here on March Ia

her home here tust before her hus-
band disappeared TO visit her parents
in Baltimore. She is not aware of the
fact that he is missing from Rich

Kealy was last seen here. when he
was provided with funds TO go to
Blackstone, In the interests of his
concern. An effort to communicate
with him there the day he left Rich
mond failed, and all that can be
gained there he never arrived there
at all. IT has been thought probable
that he shipped aboard a ship bearing
horses to England. but this fact has
not been esta blished. The police are
endeavoring to learn some clue as
to his whereabouts.
