The old water tank is crumb-
ling down. Capt. Shaw and fam-
ily moved out of their home and

set the plans.
A. T. Bennett , a veteran news-

charged from the doctor's care on
Sunday. None of the wounds in-
flicted were dangerous and the only
shot extracted was one that lodged
in his skull. Tom is happy to be
among the living yet and the way
he got on the outside of his Sun-
day dinner was a caution.
A bolt of lightning struck john

The unexpected discharge of a I
16-pounder at your heels could not
have caused the shivers to chase
up and down your spinal column
with any greater leap and bound
than did the terrific crash of thun-
der that followed the blinding flash
of lightning Wednesday morning. I
It came so unceremoniously that I
everybody in town jumped to his
feet in a twinkle and out of doors I
to ascertain the . 1
cause. Many a
one thought Satan himself after
them. The flash of lightning was
like a crazy streak of forked fire
that seemed to zigzaginto every ,
open door and window. Parents
stood in awe , children shrieked and
huddled close , while terrified ani-
mals with a leap bounded away for
any old place. Even the serene ,
complacent disposition of our
friend Ernest Brown curdled as the
uncanny thing shot into his door
and out of the window in less time
than it takes to say skat. While
most of us were pulling ourselves
together Ernest was putting dis
tance between his den and the
prairies west of town. He thinks

ripened into a warm friendship :

cemented in the years to come and
be the means of more than one en-
joyable meeting to 'talk over olden .
