Bovina was visited by a severe thunderstorm and heavy downpour of rain late last Friday afternoon. Russell hill and the ridge toward Tunis Lake received the worst of the storm and the indications are that there was a cloudburst. The hillsides were covered with rushing waters and the road leading from the state road to Russell’s was washed out the dirt deposited some distance along the state road to depth of about a foot. In other parts of the town while there was a heavy downpour for over an hour there was no special damage from water.

A committee was appointed to have charge a reunion in 1924.
