The school house in the Fred John
son district has been robbed of late
and all the lace curtains and several
library books Rave been stolen; also a
large curtain used in entertainments
and several boxes of chalk. The worst
of all was tearing the Bible almst to
pieces. The fancy work on the walls
was torn off and thrown on the floor,
destroying a large part of it. Who
ever it is, if caught will be dealt with
severely. It must be'the same party
who got the carrier’s blankets, and
chickens from many people on the
Creek. It has only been a short time
since such work has started on Wig
gle Creek and the party up to this
kind of work had better look out.

First Trust Company
boys, Henry Goodwin’s man and Mr.
Gehring, put in a new bridge just
west of the Wiggle Creek church the
past week. This bridge was badly
needed and the way it was put in
speaks well for those that did the
work. The new bridge is about three
feet higher and eight feet longer, and
is a little south of the old one. The
high banks on the west side have been
graded down so the snow that drifted
into the old cut will be avoided. It
was a wonder the old bridge stood at
all, as the timbers were badly rotted.
This is the bridge Brunner’s big well
machine went through and injured
one of his men last year.
Ray Gardner and little brother
were caught in the field with 8 head
of horses during the hail storm that
visited this section two weeks ago.
They only had time to get the teams
unhitched from the plows when the
storm was upon them in full force.
They had to drift with the storm as
they could not hold the horses with
the hail pounding them, and when
the storm was over they had drifted
almost a quarter of a mile, holding on
to the horses heads. In front of
the horses was a dangerous place and
to get away from them was more
dangerous as the hail was beating
down with terrific force. Ray re
ceived a lump on the head from the
hail, one of the horses had a bad cut
on one eye, and all the horses were
bruised up considerable. Many a
man would have found this a trying
place in such a storm.
During a light local shower one day
last week, John Gallaway and George
Plambeck bad a close call from death
when the Hawk school house was
struck by lightning. The shower
came up suddenly and John and
George went into the school house to
escape the rain, while others who
were working on the road at the same
time went into the barn. Soon after
entering the school house, it was
struck by lightning. The two were
standing close to the partition where
the lightning came down, tearing the
partition badly and playing all about
them and several things close to them
were hit. Both gentlemen were badly
stunned for a short time. W. O.
Brown’s team, which Plambeck was
working on the road at the time were
knocked fiat to the ground and could
not hear any one speak to them for
twelve hours. The queer part of it
was, no one has been able to find out
where the lightning entered the
building. The school house was in
sured. Those in the barn were more
or less stunned. Lightning has been
after Mr. Gallaway for some time,
having killed or wounded several head
of stock for him the past two years.

fix a cement roof cn his cave this
week.

City Schools to
Open September 2
The board met Monday evening
of this week and decided to open
the coming school year on Tues
day, Sept. 2, instead of on Mon
day, that being Labor Day. In
spite of the fact that the patrons
of the city schqpls at the last
annual meeting condemned the
basement as unfit for use, the
the same has been fitted up for
the first and fourth grades. The
board claims they can find no
satisfactory place outside the pub
lic school building in which to
house the above grades, hence
said basement must be occupied
by them. The indignation of
patrons is crystallizing into a pro
test, which may result in a con
certed movement to have the base
ment condemned by the board of
health and its use denied. What
ever the outcome many of the
patrons of the school will refuse
to allow' the health and eyesight
of their children to be impaired
by attendance at school, if in said
basement.
