mails We're Killed.

Three flashes OF lightning did 1884, 900
worth of damage and nearly killed Geo.
d. Rainsford. the horseman, at that gen.
tleman' ranch near Ohugwater last Friday
afternoon.
Twenty-three head of brood mares had
been placed in a small corral overshad-
owed by a precipitous and rocky hill.
During the rainstorm the animals sought
shelter at the base of the cliff.
Three sharp and binding flashes OF
lightning were followed by an equal num-
Der of deafening reports.
The men about the place with one accord
started toward the corral enclosing the
valuable bunch of mares. Upon arrival
they could only gaze in open mouthed
astonishment at the terrible ruin wrought.
Every one of the twenty-three animals,
including one magnificent mare valued at
$4,000 were stone dead. All the horses
escaping the lightning had been killed by
the shower of rocks and earth from the
hill with the exception of two bronchos.
A search was at once instituted for Nj.
Rainsford, who was known to be riding
about the place. He was found in a sad
plight. His mount had been cut in two
as if by a giants broadaxe and the gentle
man himself was seriously shocked. His
spurs were twisted and pantaloons burned.
After five hoursh regained consciousness
and is now being nursed back to health at
his residence in this city, having arrived
last evening.
No electrical storm ever occurring in
Wyoming inflicted as much damage as the
three bolts of lightning striking at the
Diamond ranch last Friday.

A Rich Region.

Chief Justice Maginnis, who has Just
returned from Crook county, is charmed
with that region and its people and be-
lieves that the future of the section is.fully
assured. The possibilities of the country
will only be known upon the advent of a
railway, which is certain to tap the region
soon, In Crook county are fine farms,
splendid ranges, inexhaustible beds of
coal, flowing oil wells and gold and silver
mines. Judge Maginnis secured speci-
mems OF the oil and coal and both are of a
superior quality.
