HEAVY RAIN SOUTH OF HERE

A very heavy rain, accompanied by considerable' wind and lightning, fell over in about Goodland and Remington about 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon. The wind was hardest and rain the heaviest in about Remington and a few mlies north of that place, where the corn was blown down quite badly, oats shocks blown oyer, limbs broken off shade trees and in several places on the range line road the water ran over the grade, while ponds of water were standing in the fields everywhere. . Only about enough rain fell in Rensselaer to lay the dust, but later in the evening, between 7 and 8 o’clock, we got a fine rain here, lasting an hour or more, and it did not come amiss, either.
