lOtain- ,8 been w,red the military
3? WTller at Fort Huachuca to send
crowded to porches nnd lawns without
waiting to don wraps or grab umbrel
las. They saw before them in the
streets a seethlnir, yellow tide, which
throw slimy sheets of ooze over the
yards at the lower sides of the streets
and crept up around the doorsteps of
the residences.
Cellars Are Flooded.
Most of the houses in that part of
town are provided with cellars, and
these, like all other depressions in the
path of the flood, were soon' filled to
thc brim by the wandering waters.
Tedestrnins who were abroad at thc
time were forced to seek refuge on con
venient fences and porches and many
were afterwards compelled to plunge
knee-deep into the Hood. On Brlgham
street down to Ninth East many pedes
tralns walked through wather shoe
top deep to reach their homes.
It was all over in a few minutes and
it was with a feeling of relief that the
frightened residents found their houses
still Intact. So far as could be learned,
no houses were moved by the onrush of
the waters, nor were any living-rooms
Hooded. The grcaest damage was to
cellars. Fruit and other articles, stored
for safe keeping, were Immersed in the
liquid mud.
Carries Debris to Fifth East.
In sweeping down the steeper part of
Brigham street the tide skimmed the
covering of the earth from the under
stratum of gravel and left the drive
as bare as a pavement. Thc mud, thus
taken up, was deposited as far down ns
FIftlifEast and washed in large quan
tities Into the sewer through manholes
and cellar drains.
As soon as the waters subsided house
holders sallied forth in the rain, armed
with shovels and brooms, to ascertain
thc extent of thedamage and to disin
ter their sidewalks and steps. ' The
street car tracks were buried in many
places, interrupting the current of elec
tricity and temporarily stalling the cars
after they began to run.
j Conductor Knocked Senseless.
During the severe play of lightning
the power was shut off for the protec
tion of passengers of the trolley cara
Heber Franklin, a conductor on the
First street line, was put out for a few
minutes by an electrical shock. He
was standing on the rear platform of
his car, which had been thoroughly
charged through contact with the water
below, and happened to touch a brass
rod. The shock brought him to his
knees and it was some time before ho
was able to co homo.
Street Cars Tied Up.
The storm interferred with the street
car service throughout the city. Be
tween 7 and 0 o'clock all cars on the
Warm Springs, East Seventh South and
Liberty park routes were stopped and
the service was intermittent on other
lines.
In the southeastern part of the city
the full force of the storm was felt.
A lawn party, which was to have been
given at the residence of Lo Grand
Younsr, was necessarily postponed as
the lawn was covered with water,
which also Doured Into the cellar of
the house. Farther south, on Eeast
Eleventh street, thc water came down
In torrents, filling the cellars of sev
eral residences.
In the southwestern part of town
much complaint was made of damage
done by waters flooding lawns and
pouring into cellars.

WHAT'S BECOME
of i immi
ilis Friends Concerned
at His Absence.
Is President and General
Manager of Dsserot Ab
stract Company.
Oftlco Door Is Loft Unlocked, as
Thoug-h He Had Just Stopped
Out.
RH. SMITH, president and gener
al manager of the Dcseret Ab
g stract company, with offices in
rooms 203-4 Auerbach building,
is mysteriouslj' missing, and some of his
friends are not a littlo concerned on
account of his unexplained absence
from his usual haunts. The only
plausible explanation for the man's
leaving the city without acquainting
any of Ills associates with his plans is
that hie business was not prosperous
nnd ho perhaps suddenly decided to
leave lor other fields. He had, however,
invested a large sum of money in his
abstract business and it appears
strange that he would leave his busi
ness, including valuable records and
other property, with no one In charge of
it.
Leaves Door Unlocked.
When a representative of the Tribune
visited the offices of the Dcseret Ab
stract company last night the door was
unlocked, tho desks and other fixtures
were in place, as though thc person in
charge had only stepped out for a mo
ment, but no one was about who could
give any Information as to the condi
tion of affairs.
O-eorge E. Maycock, deputy clerk of
the civil division of the City court, ls
secretary of the company, but It is un
derstood that his connection with the
firm is only nominal, that he has at
least for some time past had no active
Interest In the concern. Mr. Maycock
could not be found last night.
What Smith's Attorney Snys.
U. G. Hartley, deputy City recorder,
who acted ay attorney for the Deseret
Abstract company In the matter of its
Incorporation, at the time it was organ
ized about three years ago, nnd who
probably knew the missing man as well
as anyone else In this city, when seen
at his home last night said-
"I heard several days ago of Mr.
Smith's disappearance, but further than
that I know absolutely nothing concern
ing IL I do not believe, however, that
there ls anything sensational In connec
tion with it Mr. Smith virtually owned
the entire buslnes9 of the company, and
it the business has not paid he is prob
ably the only one who has lost by It. I
believe he Is a man of good character
and would do nothing crooked. He told
me a short tlmo ago that he had in
vested more than 318,000 In the business
here and that It was not paying, so that
my idea is that he has simply gdne
somewhere else to try to recoup his for
tune." Cnmo Here From Los Angeles.
Mr. Smith ls a large, line looking
man about 50 years old, whose appeal-"
anco is rendered all the more striking
on account of his having lost one of hit
legs. He came here from Los Angeles
about three years ago and established
an abstract business on what is known
as the certificate system. It Is said that
he had made a success of thc busi
ness on the same lines In Los Angeles,
but it was new here and did not become
quickly poular. He apparently made
few intimate friends, but he waa high
ly esteemed by thoso who new him wolL
