, Struck by L ghtning
The farm house of Mrs. Thomas Sul
livan south of Plattsmouth was struck
by lightning Monday morning during
the severe electric storm and though
little damage resulted from the blaze
and no one was injured the affair could
easily have been very serious.
The bolt struck at the northwest
corner of the house and though four
children were asleep in the room di
rectly below none were injured and but
three were awakened.
Bert Satchel who lives in the house
was at the barn milking the cows and
the first he knew about it was when
one of the little girls came down and
said she heard the brick3 fall. A little
later upon returning from the house,
where she had been sent for a saw, she
told Bert the house was on fire. He
immediately went to the house and was j
fortunately able to locate the blaze j
which he put out by the use of a half i
dozen buckets of water. The bolt
seemed to travel to all parts of the
house and anything made of metal with
which it came in contact was partly
melted while the woodwork was badly
singed.
All of the wire screen around the
large porch was ruined, w1iileNa spade
leaning against the screen had one
cornor melted oif. .lso a ring varying
in size from a pea to a five cent piece,
was burned around each nail used in
fastening the tin to the roof.
The members of Mr. Satchel's family
and the owner of the house are lucky
indeed to have suffered no serious loss.
The Luildintr is insured in the Farmers
! Mutual of Cass county and Jacob Falter
the secretary wa3 notified at once and
a meeting of the adjusters will be
called to fix the amount of damages.
Miss Isabel Wiles was in the city
Wednesday evening, having returned
from Omaha where she had been on
business.

ble Meeting.
Rev. A. A. Randall and E. H. Wes-'
cott returned this morning from Te
cumseh where they had been in attend
ance at the seventeenth annual conven
tion of the Nebraska City district of

most excellent and profitable meeting.
Dr. Randall's two numbers on the pro

and the consensus of opinion was that
they accomplished much good. The
principal speaker of the occasion was

had many good things to say and he
said them in a manner that was inspir

the proper medicines, and the wound is
doing very well at present.

Enjoy Fiahing Trip.
Ed Lutz, and son Eddie and Dick Os
borne, head clerk in the grocery de
partment, made a hurry up trip out to
Cedar Creek last Tuesday evening
where they expected to slip up una
wares on the black bass and croppy
in the fish pond there and cap
ture wagon loads of the poor unsuspect
ing things. Each gentleman had a
arge basket of lunch with him and up
on being informed that there was a
splendid hotel at Cedar Creek, ac
knowledged the fact but declared they
would be too busy throwing out their
tackle to go up town for supper. Ed
had made arrangements with Conduct
or Johnson to stop the special train
there and returned home that evening.
We have sought to have an inter
view with the boys since their return
but for some unaccountable reason they
are keeping close under cover. How
ever, we learned from other sources
that they developed a huge appetite,
and were able to devour every crumb
of their lunch; also that Ed, Sr., and Jr.,
each had several fine plump mosquito
bites while the little bass gnawed all
bait ofF of Dick's hook. Of course this
is only hearsay and when the boys re
turn from "Tall Timber" wc will glad
y correct any misstatements.
