Norman at any time but it did not
come closer to Norman than 6 miles;
but as it passed along the Northern
line of county the rain fell in toi 1 onts.
For the past week heavy rains with
occasional flurries of wind had pre-
vailed over western and Northern
Oklahoma and the big down pour Sat-
urday night sent all the streams in
Oklahoma over their banks and many
of them were higher than ever known.
West of Norman the South Canadian
River was about 3 miles wide on Sun-
day at 12 o'clock, the highest it has
been known to be in 17 years. Many
of the finest farms in the county were
completly under water and it yvas
with difficulty that people and stock
were saved, so sudden was the rise.
Fortunate for the farmers on the 10
mile flat "Lost Creek" from which
they suffer the most, and from water
running into flat from surrounding
country, did not pour into flat the
volume of water it often does, and
the injury to farmers on flat is not
so severe as suffered by the farmers
who suffered from over flow from the
river. The North prong of Little
River and Elm and Hog Creek came
down bearing floods from rain on
heads of these streams but the little
river bottom was not over flowed:
but considerable injury was done to
bottom lands 011 Hog and Elm Creek
and along North prong of little rivsr
but the flood on these bottoms yvas of
so short a duration that injury is not
great. The greatest damage sustasn-
in territory by water was along the
bottoms of the North Canadian river
and particularly in the neighborhood
of Yukon yvliere wind added to dam-
age. Sunday morning the business
portion of Oklahoma City was sub-
merged and basements all filled doing
immense damage to stocks stored ia
basements. The Santa Fe was only-
line of road that could get into city
and yvater was over flowing its rails in
.some places. Boats were run 011 the
I principal streets in the very heart
of the business portion of the city.
There was some injury to crops and
fruit by hail in some parts of Oklaho-
ma county. At Carmen in the North-
ern portion of the territory a small
cyclone done some damage killing
one or two persons and blowing down
some buildings.
The G- A. R. Encampment closed last
Thursday night.
Last Thursday the G. A. R. En-
campment held in this city closed
with a good, strong, patriotic, Okla-
homa address by Gov. Ferguson.
The Governors address while not
loaded with rhetonic and figures of
speech, was clean cut and bristled
yvith good sound sense that pleasad
every one. Ex. Gov. Barnes deliver-
ed an address in the afternoon and
all who heard it pronounced it one of
the very best addresses delivered
during the reunion. The reunion
throughout was pronounced by the
old soldiers as the best ever held in
Oklahoma and they were warm in
their praise of the royally manner
in which they had been entertained
by the citizens of Norman and the
efforts they put forth to make the
reunion a success. The following is
a list of officers elected.
C. P. Green, Alva, department com-
mander.

Belknap could not see it that yvay

Belknap was much the larger man
yet he took to his heels yvith Mayes

caught Mayes and stopped the fight.

Hayes and his two valises took a
headlong plunge into about ti inches
deep of street slush. One of the
valises happened to fall under him
and this saved him from a total im-
mersion: but he was more than half
dipped The train went on and Hay-
es meandered back to the Lee Hotel
hired a porter and by two o'clock in
the morning the task of cleaning up
was partially finished. Hayes says
that the slush seemed to think that
his cutis were openings to a sewer
and the way it did rush up his arms
and run out at his shoes was simply
awful. The taking bath cost nothing
but the expense of cleaning up after-
wards he said made a $10 bill look
like 30 cents.
