Town Board Organizes.
A special meeting o f the town board

year just ending and the new board
qualified and assumed the duties o f
their respective offices.
The reports o f the retiring recorder
and treasurer were audited and accept­
ed and the affairs o f the municipality
were found to be in excellent condition.
J. E. Boswell, the retiring recorder,
administered the oath o f office to A. P.
Gillett, his successor, after which the
old board adjourned sine die.
Recorder Gillett called the new board
to order, when W. C. Leever was
unanimously chosen as President o f the
Board.
The town officials are now as follows:
Trustees—W. C. Leever, W . J. Free­
man, J. W . Jacobs, S. A. Pattison and
I. C. Robnett.
Recorder—A. P. Gillett.
Treasurer—T. M. Witten.
Marshal—L. Williams.
Street Commissioner—G. G. Selby.
Before adjournment President Leever

storm, but withheld other appoint­
ments until the next regular meeting.

Robnett, J. W . Jacobs and S. A. Patti­

Be-ir Creek on Rampage.
The continued rainstorm which began
at midnight Saturday and lasted with­
out interruption until Monday morning
resulted in the highest water that has
been experienced in this valley for
several years. Bear Creek reached the
highest stage Monday morning that
had been reached for several years and
considerable damage was caused by the
flood cutting its banks and encroaching
on adjacent farms. The bridge just
east o f town also suffered to a con­
siderable extent, one o f the steel cais­
sons which supports the steel span o f
the structure being undermined until it
settled almost tw o feet. The steel
span and the wooden approach on the
east side are both badly out o f line at
this writing and if the rains continue
and the creek makes another rise it is
probable both spans will go out. The
wooden covered span on the west side
o f the creek was not damaged.
Some damage was also reported from
different parts o f the valley in the way
o f the washing away o f fences, cul­
verts, etc., but aside from the damage
occasioned by Bear Creek the loss will
be nominal.
Patrons o f the rural mail routes were
cut off from communication with the
outside world in some cases. Ben Lit­
tle, carrier on route No. 2, was only
able to serve those o f his patrons who
reside on this side o f the creek, and
Jim Grieve, carrier on route No. 1,
also had to turn back before reaching
the end o f his route.
