Floods Averted

BY prompt work the floods in the
northern and eastern portion of town
that were threatened yesterday were
averted and unless a heavy rain
comes along and dissolves the snow
in the mountains all danger has
passed. By cutting the ice which
held the water back in numerous
places and opening up various bitches
the many little streams are passing
off all right. From the natural thaw
of the snow no danger is likely to
follow.

RAIN UPON COAST
 OF ENGLAND

LONDON, April 3.-At least six teen were killed and 100 injured in tho explosion of bombs dropped by raid of Zeppelins on the northeast coast of England late Saturday night. Three children were killed and % persons were injured seriously in one hamlet. according to early reports.

Several houses were wrecked one being de- molished but the family of five es- caped without serious Injury
 Second RaId Made.
 A second raid took place last night and the following announcement was made early this forenoon by the war department officials; "A zeppe- lin raid took place Sunday night over the coast of Scotland and the north ern and southeastern countries of England were also attacked. Bombs were dropped at various places but no details are available"
 The British air craft did effectu- al work but as the scenes of opera, ton were so far removed from the central base they were badly ham, pered.
 Thrilling slshts.
 During the raid Friday night, wit nesses tell of many thrilling sights. The searchlights around London lit up the sky and revealed many zep- pelins. Shells from the land guns could be seen bursting all around the German craft. One shell hit Zep- pelin and 1t was seen to turn around and proceed toward the sea, badly damaged. A pilot of steamship who returned here today stated he saw a disabled Zeppelin. He claims that the craft was broken in half and had @ large dent in the stern. He esti- mated It's length at more than TOO feet.
 Fight with zeppelIns.
 One correspondent who witnessed q fight between zeppelins and Brit. fish gunners, writes that all lights were put out in the streets of tho coast towns and all places of enter tainment were closed. The night was calm, clear and peaceful. Half dozen searchlights which were turn ed to the sky presented a fine sight. Presently booming guns brought hun. drets of persons into the street. Just before ten o'clock the correspondent saw the searchlights pick up a Zep. pellu and tho crowd loudly applauded tho work of the gunners. becoming wildly enthusiastic when one shell seemed to burst immediately beneath tho invader. Various zeppellns dis. charged clouds of smoke, and disap- pea,ed behind the cloud. This is some new invention of the Germans for protection when located. 1t is be. lieved.
 The coast has been raided three nights In succession.
