Ole Mary crested here between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. Friday at 17.05 feet, says John Kelsey, weather observer. The Weather Bureau in Topeka had forecast a crest near 17.5 feet Friday night as upstream runoff arrived. Upstream waters may have been insufficient to delay the river’s fall as earlier levels moved downstream. The 17.05 read came from the telemeter gauge at the sewage disposal plant, with the Main Street gauge peaking at 11.10 feet.
