LAST NIGHTS RAIN
BREAKS HOT SPELL
Yesterday And saturday Were Two
WaImest Days so Far This Year
Not Far Behind Last Years Record

Yesterday And Saturday Were Two
Walmest DAYS so Far This Year
Not Far Behind Last Years Record
The storm last night was one of
the most severe that has visited this
section for number of years: fash
es of lightning followed each other
in such rapid succession that they al
most seemed continuous. The light
ming undoubtedly struck il one or
two places, for persons observing the
play back and fourth of the light
ming saw plainly the bursts of fire
which usually follow such hits.
For time the electric current was
off. and it was impossible for persons
depending upon electric lights to get
around in their houses, but this con-
dition was somewhat relieved when
the storm subsidized shortly after
eleven o'clock The current was on
in part of Cambridge about eleven
O'Clock, while in other places fuses
were burned out, and it was not I'M
til this morning that the damage
could be repaired.
The breaking of the hot wave
which has existed for the past few
DAYS was NelCOHi6u ny dill SATURDAY,
and yesterday, We're the hottest days
this year; in fact, Saturday, when
the official thermometer registered
90, was a little warmer than yester-
day, when the thermometer regis
tered 95. Both days, however, rank
well up with the hottest days of last
summer, there only being one day
last summer that was warmer than
Saturday.
The rain which followed the storm
is particularly welcome, as the land
all over this section was badly in
need of rain; farmers were handi-
capped in getting out their tomato
plants on account of the drouth,
while truck farmers and gardeners
were experiencing quite little anXi-
ETY. as to whether some crops would
be cut off prematurely, while others
would not mature on account of
lack of moisture. The rain will be
worth many thousands of dollars to
the people of the county, and came
just in the nick of time.

 Are Arrested

 At Novo Nicholaevsk, which is the nearest large city east of Mmsk, the Czech -SIovalxs joined the white guards in overwhelming the societs and have established what they call new Siberian central government which is the fourtl, government now claiming control in Siberia. The Bol- sheviki government has sent enlissar- ies to negotiate with the Czecho- | Slovaks. who insist that they must be given the right to pass thru Siberia to Vladavoostok on their way to the l fighting front in France.
 | More than 300 arrests have already been made by the soviet government in connection with the anti-soviet | plot. Among those under arrest are M. Kishkin, minister of public well fare in the Kerensky capinet and M | Malyantovitch, minister of justice in the Kerensky cabinet and many other social democrat and social revolutions ist leaders.
 Partial disclosures made by the so- viet government allege that the coun- ter-revolutionary headquarters in Moscow has extended it's organiza- tion thruout Siberia and central Rus sia under the name of Union for De fense of the Fatherland and of Free dom."
