Flood Waters Cause
Havoc
Raging Streams Overflow
Banks Doing Much
Damage
Damage

The sweltering weather of last
week was relieved somewhat Sunday
afternoon by showers. The rain con-
tinued internationally Monday, until
late that night and early Tuesday
when came the deluge. TWO storms,
with torrential rains, one about l:OV
a m. and the other about 400
O'Clock Tuesday morning converted
already turbulent streams into roar
ing torrents, that overfowed banks
and swept away much property, in
GLIDING buildings, fences, livestock,
and in some places bridges.
Roads were greatly damaged by
washouts, and farmers being in the
midst of the harvest season suffered
serious losses to their hay and wheat
crops.
In this immediate section where
corn and tomatoes are grown ex-
tensively for the canneries, much
damage was done these growing
crops.
Streams overlooking highways
held up traffic for hours. East OF
town the ordinarily small stream
looked like river, overlooking the
road at Ayers filling station and
flooding tourist cabins along its
banks
The southbound morning mail and
milk train could get no further than
Rowlandville, owing to washout.
Auto traffic over Route No. 40,
was blocked for hours on either side
of Elkton by high waters, and was
sent over Route No. l, through Ris-
ing Sun. Reports from all sections
throughout this locality bring news
of badly washed dirt roads and fields.
Many of our farmers too, report
losses of poultry, large numbers of
young chickens being flooded out
and drowned in their coops. 1t is
reported three cows were swept away
by Tn0 HOOu WdLeiS VI OCIoi al v
creek, which was on a real rampage
and spread far. out over its banks,
sweeping tourist cabins, small build
ings, fences and others property away
and creating much havoc all along
it's turbulent course.
According to reports the food
waters in all streams in this locality
reached higher mark than during
the storm of August two years ago.
With it all, however, our section
did not suffer loss of life, nor the
serious property losses, that visited
other sections of the country swept
by the floods.
