A fierce storm passed over Floyd county Iowa near Rudd yesterday at 4 p m flooding lowlands and submerging cattle up to their knees. George D Harris and wife traveled from Minneapolis where Morris attended the American Bar association meeting. Harris notes the worst rain between Floyd and Rudd but no rain at Charles City.

He predicts buses will force road upkeep and taxes, and mentions a Minneapolis to Los Angeles motorbus service starting September 7 with 15 days for each leg and berths for sick passengers.
