.Mother I Injured While
Prosecuting Search.
The police force of this city Is actively
engaged searching for two young girls who
have disappeared from their homes and
wnoso anxious parents have sought the as
nisiunco oi tno authorities In trying to
find them. Tho missing girls nre Florence
uartiett, who lived with her parents on
Mttlo Henton street, and Hetta Doollttle,
uaugntcr of J. A. Doollttle, a farmer of
Carson, this county. The Uartiett girl Jcft
uer nomo sunuay and although ehu has been
seen several times since the police, yester-
aay were unable to placo their hands on
ner. Miss Doollttle Is supposed to have
eloped Wednesday from the parental roof
with a youth named Trice and was thought
to be In this city yesterday, but the police
wero unable to And any trace of her. Uoth
of the young women arc only 16 years of
age. Young Trice, who Is said to have
eloped with Miss Doollttle, Is under
years.
I no uartiett girl has run away from
home before. It Is only about two years
ago that she left with a young follow, but
was arrested at Olcnwood and returned to
her parents. She left her home last Sun
day and Is supposed to be In company with
a young man employed In a local rcstati
rant, but whoso name Is not known to her
parents. It Is reported that she has been
seen several time In Falrmnunt park and
was ordered away from there late at night
a couple or days ago by Park Patrolman
Murphy. A thorough search of the park
was made yesterday, but no trace of the
girl could be found. It Is thought, how
ever, by the officers that the couple arc
hiding either In the park, or In tho vicinity.
I'nrentn Victim of. Ilunmvny.
The parents assisted In the search In thn
afternoon and when returning from the
park were tho victim? of a runaway acci
dent. They were driving in a llcht snrinir
wagon and at the corner of Fourth street
and Ilroadway the horse took fright at a
passing motor and started to run awav.
Tho wagon was overturned and Mr. nml
Mr. Uartiett and their little babv were
thrown out. Mrs, Uartiett suffered a dis
location of the right knee, while tho babv
received a severe bruise on Its head. Dart-
lott, who hung to the reins, managed to
stop the hor3o and escaped with a few
bruises. Mrs. Uartiett and the baby after
receiving medical attendance were removed
to their home on Little Benton street.
Hetta Doollttle, tho 16-ycar-old daughter
of J. A. Doollttle of Carson, left her home
Wednesday, driving across country to this
city with a young man named Trice, son
of a well-to-do farmer In the samo neigh
borhood. The marriage record In the office
of the clerk of the district court" falls
to show that they secured a llconse'here,
and It Is thought that If they are married
they secured the license across the river.
Doollttle was In the city Thursday night
searching for his daughter, and from In
formation ho received he believed that
young Trice had gone to the home of rela
tives in Hancock, but ho was unablo to se
cure any trace of tho girl. The police re- i
celved word yesterday from Carson that
the young woman was probably at tho home
of a friend on South Seventh street In this
city, but nothing had been heard of her
there.
young Worlds took It and drove off toward
Omaha. At Thirty-fourth street and Ave
nuo A he drove on the motor tracks In
front of an approaching car. The motor
man called to blm to get off the track, but
the boy became frightened and was un
able to turn the horse. Ah tho motor
slackened up the boy Jumped from the
buggy and ran toward tho pumping station.
Passengers on tho car supposed ho had
become suddenly deranged by the heat and
two men started after him. Just as the
boy reached the pumping station the en
gineer caught him and the lad collapsed.
He appeared to be entirely unconscious
and lay as If dead. Water was thrown
In his face and sympathetic bystander
fanned him with their hats, but the boy
gave no sign of life.
The police were telephoned to and the
ambulance was sent to the scene. It was
thought that the bay was n carrier for
one of the local papers. He never gavo
a sign of life until the police station was
reached, when he was Instantly Identified
as an Inmate of the Christian home, who
had been in troublo before for stealing
thing. It then developed that the boy
had played "possum" and that there was
nothing the matter with him. The horse
and buggy were later Identified by Morso.

Kililiinntloii of l.lKlitiilnw from n
. ClonillrHN Sky.
Charles E. Ashcratt, Jr., ot the weather
bureau, Dominica, W. I., In tho Monthly
Weather Review says:
Tho phenomenon of lInhtnlnB from n
cloudless sl;y seems to be regarded In the
stniea as ono of very raro occurrence, as It
very likely Is. I cannot remember of ever
obsorvlnR It while In tha Mates, but down
here In tho West Indies It is of very fre-
qucnt occurrence, so frequent, in fact, that
it Is not regarded as remarkable by tha
people.
The appcaranco ot the flash Is that of
sheet lightning, generally single flashes be
ing seen at Intervals of from two to five
minutes, and ngaln only two or three occa
sional Hashes will be seen Curing nn even
ing. They do not seem to be confined to
any particular quarter of tho sky for local
reasons, ns I have observed them In all
quarters, I do not think Mashes are duo to
falling meteors, but they may be tho re
flected flashes ot distant thunderstorms, al
though a clear sky certainly does not offer
so good a reflecting surface as a clouded
ono. However, I am Inclined to believe
that tho theory of the exchange of electrici
ties between vertical currents of air Is a
very plausible explanation, for tho following
reasons: In the first placo the phenomenon
has always be.m observed in tho ovenlng.
usually between 7 and 9 o'clock, never be
fore 7, I believe, but soveral times after !
o'clock. As this latitude Is free from tho
disturbing effects of ever-passing areas of I
high and low preBsuro the diurnal phases
of the weather are, therefore, very constant
and much alike from day to day. So that
ordinarily between 7 and 9 p. m. the tem
perature falls, cool breezes spring up, n
rapid clearing condition sets In, the clouds
disappear sometimes like magic and by 9
m, the nky Is usually clear. Now, It Is
always at this time, when tho colder cur
rents nt air are dcsceudii g, causing the
cool breezes and clearing condition and set
ting up a vertical circulation with steep
gradients, that the lightning Is seen. Some
time tho sky Is not absolutely clear, a few
clouds nearly always hanging over tho
mountalna to the east nf the xtatlnn, but
perhaps to the westward, whero not the
lenst vostlgo of cloud Is visible. Then It Is
about this time In the evening that the
maximum electrification of tho air occurs
and In view of the fact that the lightning
alwnys occurs at the ono tlmo Is It not
probable that the exchange of electricities
between the descending and aacendlng cur
rents, having different temporatures and
humidities, and, therefore, different elec
trical potentials, Is tho cause thereof?
1 may add that these lightning flashes
havo been observed more frequently during
tho hurrlcnno season, but Just what weathor
conditions prevailed on the dates of occur'
renco I am unable to say.
