Damage amounting in the aggre
gate to hundreds of dollars was done

heavy storm which visited this sec
tion Tuesday. Rain fell in torrents,
accompanied by hail in some parts
of the county. The resulting floods
i ajsed the small streams and creeks j
tnrougli tne county out of their
banks, washing away fencing,
damaging tobacco beds and causing
a vast amount of damage in other
ways. Many places- on the pikes
were rendered almost impassable,
and traffic had to be detoured in
other directions.
The storm was especially heavy
in the vicinity of the Xalapa Farm
of Edward F. Sirams, on the" North
Middletown pike, near Paris. A
large truck belonging to the farm,
lpaded with colored laborers, bound
for Paris, went through a bridge.
The men all made their escape, but
the truck with its driver was carried
down the stream a considerable dis
tance. The driver was tescued from
his perilous place. The truck ope
rated on the North Middletown
transfer line struck the high waters
on the pike, causing it to skid over
an embankment. The truck was
later rescued, with its load of mer
chandise. A. wall of rushing water
washed away about 150 feet of the
stone fence in fibnt of the Xalapa
Farm. Raymond Fryman, truck
driven, was justrelurning to Paris,
when the swift wafer at that point
caught his machine, the engine go
ing "dead," and plunging the car
against a fence on the opposite side
of the pike. Fryman escaped un
hurt. A new tobacco barn on the
farm of Frank P. Kiser, near Paris,
collapsed, under the pressure of
high winds and was wrecked.
Lightning struck a number of barns
in the county, doing " considerable
damage. Lowlands everywhere
were flooded, stock washed away,
and fencing demolished.
Traffic on the Louisville & Nash
ville between Maysville and Paric
was put out of commission for a
time when a bridge near "Pleasant
Valley, in Nicholas county, went
out. The damage was repaired, and
trains are now making schedule
time," A bridge on the Frankfort &
Cincinnati road between Frankfort
and Georgetown went out under tho
rush of 'waters, causing intenuption
to traffic between Pans and tnoso
points.
The storm was succeeded Wednes
day by clear weather, bringing re

normal stage, and no further dam

afternoon the iron bridge spanning
the creek near the Edward Lewis
