On last Tuesday, shortly after noon, !
thunder storm put in an appearance and
for the space of half an hour, several
terrible bolts of lightning escaped from
the clouds. A bolt of lightning struck
the new house being built on west 5th
street by II. c. Shrimp, in which num-
per OF workimen were engaged, instantly
killing Mr.. Nelson Alloway. and breaking
MI. d. NJ. Bartletts nose and for q
moment stunning the other workmen.
MIR. Alloway, the deceased, was leaning
against the easement of window and
taking with companion about q room
they intended to occupy together, when
the terrible crash came which so sudden
ly deprived him oflife. He never moved
after being struck, until he fell to the
floor. His companion, Mr.. L. L. Burris
standing within four or five feet, upon
recovering from temporary shock, did
not netice that deceased was at all hurt
until he fell The lightning then run
along the telephone wire leading from
the First National Bank, and demolished
the pole just west of Shimp's house and
set portions of the pole on fire. East of
there the bolt made itself felt in the resi-
dence of W. H. Marble, cracking Dor
tiOns of the cOrnice. 1t was also felt at
the implement store of Samuel E. Lee,
where it knocked down and stunned Mr..
j. I. like, who was handling some iron
implement at the time. The shock was
also felt at the First National Bank
building by occupants of the CAT Office
and by the tailors at work in H. C.
Shimp's clothing house.
Mr.. Nelson Allaway. the deceased, was
young man plasterer by trade, who
had been working in Colby a year or
more with Ruley Walters. He was
number one workman and was highly
regarded as first class. straight forward
young man by all who knew him. He
was engaged to young lady Of this city,
whose grief was uncomfortable upon be-
ing brought to where the deceased lay.
Among all the assembled crowd a great
feeling of sympathy to the young lady
was manifest. The features of the dead
man were those of one in profound and
peaceful slumber; apparently there had
been no pain and bright pleasant ex-
preston with eyes and mouth closed as
in life fingered on his face The young
man was we'll connected having brother
at Hill City, Graham county, Kas., and
his father resides near there. Both were
telegraphed tidings of the sad event.
No inquest being deemed necessary, the,
remains were taken in charge by Mr..
Niskern, the undertaken. for in
Mr.. H. NJ. Bartlett, who sustained
broken nose from the bolt. was in the
second story of the house just over where
stood Mr.. Alloway. He was struck
down, and the wounded member for
time bled prOfusely. He at once was
looked after by surgeon, DR.. V. C. Ed
dy and the fracture set and is doing as
well as possible under the circumstances.
Such accidents as the above have,
been unknown in this vicinity,
and it is to be hoped that we may never
again be visited in this way.

A Mysterious Case.

Two brothers by the name OF John
aud Charles Shaw, whose home is in
Shiawassee Co. have been at work in
Clayton, one at the farm of John l..
Jones and the other for Byron Pen
oyer. One week ago last Sunday The
one employed by Mr.. Jones visited
his brother at the home of Mr.. Pen
oyer where he remained until late in
the evening. About ten o'clock he
started back for his employ house
since that time nothing has been
heard of him. 1t was supposed by
his brother that he had arrived safely
home and was engaged at his usual
work, until the following Tuesday,
word was received by him from Mr..
Jones, that he had not returned there,
A search was Immediately instituted
bat to no avail. as nothing could be
learned of his whereabouts. Com
munication from his parents in SIN
awassee county showed tl.at he had
not been there, and up to he present
time thewhole case is developed 10 mys
terry. The young man bore reputation
of being person Of good habits and |
is said to have been hard working
steady young man. II is supposed that
he had with him, on the night that he |
disappeared, quite an amount of
money and it is feared that he has
been foully dealt with Officer Gar

making vigilant search to ascertain
the cause of his disappearance.

cordial and unanimous nomination
that had been rendered him, and
would do all that lay in his power TO
secure the nomination of Gen. Alger
in me National convention. He re.
viewed the record of the Democratic
party ia its management of public
affairs, and said that when the Re.
publican party came into power it
found an empty treasury, and when it
went out it left surplus OF tour
hundred Millions. The Democratic
administration did not appear TO be
able to handle full treasury any
better Than they did an empty one,
which has simply showed that it was
unable to manage the affairs of
great country. He considered tue
Republican prospects excellent, aud
said thai as he was a candidate for
no Office this fall he would be free TO
enter the contest for Republican sue

it up until the ides of November.

for delegate tothe Chicago conven-

new deal, an infusion Of new blood,
and as Shiawassee had always rolled
up large maj critics for the Republi-
can ticket it was entitled to some of

the nomination of Mr.. Fitzpatrick.

ed the name Of S. Perry Young, OF
that county whom he Endorsed as
young an active Republican. He
put in the claim that it was now

Col. A. Il. Bliss, of Saginaw,
seconded MIR. Young's nomination.
Capt. Stone, OF Gratiot, presented
the name Of Robert Smith, of the

journalist and an active and enthusi

+. F. Grabill, editor Of the Green
vile Independent, made an ernest
plea In behalf Of the Motcalm county
candidate, and paid high colnpli
ment to Mr.. Horr, as gentleman
who's reputation was national.
A. N. Brown, editor Of the North
western Tribune presented the name
of P. J. Dodds of Isabella, as candi-
date, and said that his county had
never been given delegate to the
national convention. Isabella simply
asked for justice in the deal.
Col. A. T. Bliss, Of Saginaw, made
a vigorous speech in presenting Mr..
Horr's name to the convention. 1t
was Mr.. Ayers choice that man
so widely known as Mr. Horr should
be sent to the Chicago convention.
He believed the Michigan candidate
stood the first in the race for Presi-
dent, and the Republicans of the
Eighth district shonld do nothing
that would injure his prospects.
Mr.. Watson, of Shiawassee, made
another plea for Mr.. Fitzpatrick, and
while he had as high regard for Mr..
Alger as any body, he did not believe
in giving Saginaw county two dele
gates, while some of the other coun
ties had none.
