Raindrenched Ranch News Cites Floods and Local Sports
Rains eased across the county with many ranches reporting up to 13 inches. Creeks flooded, dams washed out, and Presidio suffered crop losses. Local notables including Mrs. Lillian Sample, Dr. G. P. Smith, Rust Sargent, and the Love and Banner families appear in scenes from Alpine, Llano, Sanderson, and Marathon. Ponderosa Restaurant sightings mix with playoff baseball scores as Bend Paving and the Jaycees chase league success.
