Take a Bunch of Three.
The Kearney ball team loBt the
last game to North Platte by a
score ot mx to four, thus making
three straight for the local team
The third game, played Tuesday
altcrnoou, was one of the few
games in which the local team has
played lucky, and the result was
different than was expected prior
to the seventh inning. At
the cud of the sixth inning the
Bcorc stood four to nothing in favor
of Kearney, but in the seventh
inning the locals pounded the
leather covered sphere with sledge
hammer blows and made six runs,
making the score six to tour, and it
stood at these figures the re
mainder of the game. In this in
ning Kilztniller sent the ball over
the teuce in center Held, making a
home run, for which he was re
warded by the enthusiastic specta
tors with a liberal purse. In the
same inning Ilaucr made a three:
bagger at a time when the bases
were full, thus bringing in three
i una. Teel, having pitched the
game in the forenoon, showed his
power of endurance by pitching the
afternoon game, and he maintained
a epe d like that of a cannon Bhot.
For his excellent work he too, was
rewarded with a purse.

A Severe Storm.
One of the most severe electrical
storms North Platte has cxpei
ieuccd in years occurred Wednesday
evening. Rain fell in torrents aiii
the lightning was almost mcessant
for over an hour. Considerable hail
fell, doing much damage to gardens
and ilower beds.
Lightning struck at two placet,
the spire of the Episcopal churc.i
inu a chimney on the Broach bouss
n the west end of the city. At thi
tormcr place the current split
the spire of the tower and de
scending knocked a hole in th;
floor ot the belfry, and theu U12
curreut followed an electric wire to
the cast end of the room and
severely 6tunned Miss Margaret
Gilman, who was pumping th?
organ during choir practice. At
the Broach house the current
demolished the chimney and de
scending to the lower floor waltzed
through two rooms and made an
exit through an open rear door,
doing but little damage.
The storm was a bad one for tin:
telephone line, temporarily disab-
ling about seventy 'phone?. It also
caused some interference with the
electric light line.

Had a Bad Dream.
A half dozen shots were fired in
the yards just cast of the shops
Tuesday night and the shooting is
explained by a guard who said
gome one had fired at him and that
he had returned the fire. No one
has been found, however, who be
lieves that the guard had b?en fired
upon. He cither had a bad d cam
or else fired his gun to gain a little
notoriety. The guard who claims
to have been used as a target is
one of the Denver outfit.
