Trainmen this morning bring reports that the storm later swept south and east, giving a large area a 'much "needed ducking.

At the height of the storm the sewers proved! inadequate' to handle tlw flood and the street intersections became lakes, swollen byt orents approaching in four directions. The impact of the rain, the dash of the wind and the flashes of lightning combined to cause, tnrce transformers to burn out. One was in Douglas alley over tho Wnite House. The fire severed a live wire carrying 4400 volts. One end dropped into the alley and wriggled' about and spluttered like a thing alive.

Before the officers arrived on the scene to keep the crowd back, Charley Vest, a bartender in the l'alace saloon, went cut into the alley and noticed the danger to which passersby were lie is not an expert on electricty, but he was morally certain that he would get some kind of a shock if he touched the wire. Nevertheles he picked it up, with the purpose of removing it from harm's way, when he suddenly let out a rhriek, stood on his head, turned a handspring and lost consciousness. His hand was badly burned but he was oth erwise uninjured despite the tremendous current that passed through his body. The lead wire was detached from the. burning transformer and for twenty minutes the power was shut off.

As soon as it was turned on again there came a blaze of from the clouds and every street car in the city stood still and remained standing still, for four of them sustained burned out motors "and one of the Spark cars AL AGENT W. HAYS. Thomas Hogan Is Taken to Prison 307 Main Street Salt Lake City, Utah Hi: 21 When the thunder crashed and' the lightning flashed splitting open the reservoirs of heaven a downpour followed that, has seldom been equaled in this jfortion of-Nevada and which broke a drought which Is considered! one of the greatest in the history of this state When the first roll of thunder burst like a canon shot over the eity followed by an electrical shudder in the atmosphere and a- flash of silvery lightning that tore the clouds asunder, the stock men lifted their arms heavenward and thanked the Great Iluler. They had long prayed', for this rain and as the big drops spattered on the pavements and made rivulets of the streets in the residence districts, the hearts of these stock men fairly leaped with joy. They beamed all over, and well could they afford! to as it meant thousands of dollars to them.

Soon the telephone lines were humming distant points as the stock men were seeking to secure information concerning the strength of the storm on the ranges. The news came back, "All ia well." The storm zone not only included Reno but much of the surrounding territory. The storm which started yesterday and was continued today was not only a gift from heaven to the stock men, but those rainii'rops looked like, grains of gold to the heat wearied prospectors on the deserts. In nearly all the mining camps water has been a scarcity this season and the lonely prospectors and miners have often pipped a little from. a canteen when they would have enjoyed gulping the hot, almost stagnant ilni.l down like a Gorman student puishes a stein of beer.

Recently a new camp called Athens was discovered down in Esmeralda county and now there is a rush to that lew mining district. There is very little waer in the new camp and during the hot days preceding this delightful rain storm, men were offering almost any price for water.

Near the camp of Athens is another camp which before this time has always had plenty of water, but now there is Water in only one shaft in that camp. The owner of this water, Jack Richardson, a well known young Reno mining man, has been offered a big fat: price for it, but he refuses to sell although lie allows the miners to use all they need' without taxing them a cent- Many water holes that have been filled with a fluid that w.ould answer for waer, out in the.de-pert, but now most of those water holes are empty and many times are prospectors 'disappointed on arriving at a water hole to find it dry and sunbaked. The dry iKriod' before the storm which broke yesterday was the greatest that has occurred in Nevada for at least seven years never was anything more welcome than the present storm. According to the weather bureau it ruined more yesterday than it did in five months all together before that In all it rained more than one inch in Reno yesterday anu! today and that is more rain than this portion of Nevada has had! since February 1st taking all the showers and combining them ugaint the shower of yesterday.
