Six Inches of Rain
Mankato, Minn., June 13. -- Six inches
of rain is the record for 24 hours. It was
the worst storm ever known in this section, and
washed out stone culverts, newly-graded streets
and retaining walls in this city. Warren creek
rose six feet, and carried away part of
Peter Sanders'
livery barn with horses and vehicles.
Lightning damaged the gas plant building to the
extent of $4,000.
