Show The Storm Tuesday Night That was a great storm on Tuesday night, or rather a great succession of storms, for they raged in the north, west and south of this city at the same time. And the electric display was something some-thing that made Fourth of July fireworks look like one-candle power tapers by comparison. And the thunders north and west and south answered to each other, peal on peal, while the lightnings blazed as though all the spirits of the storm were passing heliographic signals to each other and calling up their divisions from beyond the lake and the desert to join in the grand assauit. And the great display went on hour after hour, and the clamor hardly once relaxed. One great storm exhausted itself over the lake, another over Bingham, Bing-ham, and still another which must have been in the neighborhood of Ogden. The one over Bingham Bing-ham finally sounded an advance and with all its black banners waving, lightning blazing and thunders thun-ders roaring, swept around the point of the mountain moun-tain to the south and must have deluged Brighton. Tho terrible heat was vanquished, the foliage washed clean, and when tho commotion was over, the air that stole, down the eastern canyons, cool and soft, struck upon the lungs like a balm, and where on fevered pillows had tossed the sick, peace came and delicious sleep. It was the great- B est display of the season up to date, and it came H a boon indeed to this sweltering city. H |
