Wednesday morning last this section
was visited with downpour of rain
that nearly reached cioudburst proper
tions. 1t was the severest rain seen
here for many years and did consider
able damage to roads, bridges and
farm lands. The Grant and Platte riv-
ers overlooked their banks and flooded
the lowlands causing untold damage
to fine growing corn. Some cellars
in the village of Potosi were filed
with muddy water. Some culverts got
clogged with debris that caused the
water to rush down the street and
gained as it travelled by the water
coming down the hill ravines. Down
below the brewery the water reached
a stage to almost flood the valley from
bluff to bluff.
