FIRE AT BRADY x
Just about the time peoplo were
finishing their supper Wednesday
evening, a terrific bolt of lightning
bashed with thunderous report, and In
a fow momenta Uic news sproad that
tho post office was on flro. The light
ning struck the flag polo of the build
ing, and started a fair sized blaze
which looked threatening for a time,
but with prompt work and the chemi
cal engine, wbb soon extinguished
with ony a small loss.
Ml-ts Virginia Haynea who was In
tho second story of the building at.
tho time of tho flash, received a con
siderable shock, but soon recovered
from the effects.
Following the fire, thero was a
heavy hall storm, some of tho hall be
ing as largo as hen's eggs. Tho hall
storm lasted for several minutes and
no doubt done considerable damage.
A good rain followed. Brady Vindicator.
WANTON DESTRUCTION
In Justice to the liome boys and
girls wo want to mako It plain that,
1 10 hacking anil defacoment of Iho
support boards of tho sleonlnc norch
at LoFayctto Park was tho work of
jack knife artists of tho Brady high
school Seniors who visited the park
Friday, May 20th, without supervision.
Tho H. A. S. B. N. T. ami other deon
cut character sketches sure made deep
scars in tho hearts of the girls who
havo labored and sacrlfled that some
one thing might stand out as proof
that we have learned tho law of camp
and trail, which Is only tho law of
brotherhood, and the' very bulwark of
our dofenso has been the protection
given, by the manly boys of our own
city, especially the boys of tho high
school.
Out of the grief of this outlawry
one big lesson has Impressed itself:
If wo Iiavo any "rough' necks," don't
let thorn gp visiting under the banner
of our Educational Institution. We

RA1N AND HAIL
About four o'clock yesterday after
noon a hall storm hit this section of
the country and for about twenty mln
utes hall varying in siro from marbles
to about tho size of hens eggs fell. As
a resut several of tho flat roofs arc
In bad shape and the business in on
.had some trouble In taking caro of tho
water which come through tho cell
lngs.
Henry Wllklns was hit on the head
Uy a largo hall and for n short time
he did not know whoro lin wns nt ifn
was trying to stop George1 Shoup's
team which started to run away with
a load of Bhelled corn and whllo Iolng
this Is when the hall knocked Jilm out.
About thirty of forty 6f tho window
lights In tho school houso wore broken
and a number of lights In tho resi
dences around tho city were broken
It is thought that tho crops will not
bo damaged very much as there was
scarcely any wind with tho hall.

SOME HAIL STORM
One of the most sovero hall storms
In years visited this valley and the
northwest country Wednesday nftor-
noon about four o'clock.
On tho Birdwood table Wm. Boll
thinks tho moisture that fell will
about offset tho damage dono by' the
hail.
In the D. E. Martin neighborhood
the hall was larger than hens eggs
and Injured crops quite badly.
On tho "Island" hogs and chickens
woro reportejl killed, and Bovero dam
ago done. It Is supposed tho storm
was about tho worst hero.
In the O'allons nelghborhhod tho
beet crop Is not reported as being
hurt badly, although injured. Small
grain, especially oats, will suffer a
75 per cent loss. Wheat did not faro
quite so badly except in a few in
stances, but thero will bo a 25 to 50
per cent loss.
Wm. Matthowson, who was listing
com near tho North river brldgo, ro
ports numerous liail stones falling
thee tho size of a 5-lb, busket. Ho
had several head of horses under a
shed for shelter during tho storm an;l
had his hands full. Bill says ho never
