COUNTY J ALL IS ALSO STRUCK New lil Paeirte lieadqearters Ballalaa- ta Hit and a Flying Brick froas It Hit II. Borsrhmaa oa th Head. The lightning flush which preceded the thunder and rain storm that swept over Omaha late Friday afternoon did consider able damage to buildings and not only terrified many persons, but almost caused a stampede In the county jail. A few minutes after 4 o'clock, when the lightning bolts were almost blinding, the new Union Pacific building at Fifteenth and Dodge street was struck at the south esst comer and a portion of the brick work was knocked from the roof. H. Borachman. a recond-hand clothing dealer at 140 Pod ft street, waa struck by a sec tion of jie flying brick and mortar, which out htm over the eye and stunned him for a second. Ho went Into his store after that and found his injuries were not seri ous. Hs stayed there. It was a few minutes after 4 o'clock when the lightning bolts became dangerous In ths vicinity of the red light district and less than a minute later th 120 prisoners In th county jail were thrown Into a stat of terror when a bolt struck the coping of th roof, scattering broken brick and fragment of mortar along th Dodg street slds of ths institution. It was at flrat thought that the lightning had rent th building asundor. but after Invontiir.. tion by th deputy sheriff none of the prisoner was found to be Injured. One negro Woman wa praying to "de Lawd" , for an hour aterwards. ! Martin Wneen. second analnlanf fir had a narrow escape from serious Injury wnue gome to a lire star'.ed by lightning m tne residence or Frank J. Blrss, XI0 Llnooln Boulevard. The chief had left the engine house at Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets and with his driver was moving fat In his eagerness to reach the seen bf.the blase. The buggy had almost reached Twenty-ninth street when a west bound car stopped midway In th block to let off some women passengers and In pulling out Driver Robert Oliver collided partly with a drsy and tha atreet car. The force of the impact wrecked ths chiefs buggy and both Mr. Dineen and his driver sustained badly contused wounds. The horse was also scratched un rhiof IHneen struggled on to the fire In another conveyance, but th Blrss home was no seriously damaged. All th electric light wires had the insulation burned off from the roof to the chandelier In ths parlor. None of th people in the house was In jured. 'but the shock was felt body- there. The damage to -tha building was very slight.. The firemen- from No. 1 encountered the most dangerous day's work a short time later, when they were called to extinguish a fire at Twenty-third and Isard streets. Where the top of a huge electric light pole waa struck by lightning and a 6.500-volt feed wlr burned completely off lta fasten ings. When the wire fell to tha street ths powerful electrlo currents caused It to spit and squirm around so that many pedestrians were In danger of being elec trocuted. Th prompt arrival of the fire men undoubtedly saved many live, as many of th people passing that 'way did not realise th danger which confronted them. All traffic was at one stopped, by the firemen and nobody was allowed to nnss e'ther wav until the irnuhl. , from ths electrlo light headquarters ar rived and shut off th current and repaired tta damaged wlr. 350 UPRIGHT PIANO GIVEN AWAY JUNE 24TH, 1911 Yea Hare Jest is Good a Chance to Wm.
