Reunion Struck bv LIehtnInp


OMAHA, NEE, September 5.-During a Sc
we're rain storm at Grand Island, where the
state Grand Army and Sons of Veterans re-
union is being held, lightning bolt struck
the camp. Two lieutenants and four ser
geants of cavalry, troop K, were seated in the
first sergeant's tent. The lightning struck
the tent, scattering the splinters in all direc-
tons. Nine men were struck. When the
alarm was given the two lieutenants and four
sergeants we're found lying fat IN their tents
with their heads buried in the debris. The
guards were found lying on the ground.
The injured are: Sergeant Luebin. of Mil
ford; First Sergeant Seymour, of Milford,
Second Lieutenant Vosberg, of Lincoln;
Lloyd Ensign, of Milford; James Carr, of
Staplehurt; Haisey Bromweli, OF Milford;
George L Gsrr, of Milford; Frank Smith,
of Milford.
When the alarm was sounded surgeons hur-
troop 4, transformed his headquarters into a
temporary hospital for some of the injured,
while the others were provided for IN an ad-
joining tent.
Sergeant Luebin is the most severely in
jured, but the doctors think he will recover.
The tent was wrecked, and it is believed
that had il not been for the metal of the pole
many people in the surrounding tents would
have been killed. Ga the arms and legs of
the injured there appear great knots pro-
duced by the electric fluid. The injured men
are suffering intense pain, but their COM
rades are doing ali in their power to relieve
the sufferers

Apropos of the prospective increase
IN the price of diamonds, a man from
New York has scheme calculated to
help the impecunious young exquisite
who wants to get engaged but who lacks
the necessary funds to purchase q suit
able diamond pledge of his affection.
This scheme Is nothing more nor less
than to loan engagement rings for so
much per month.
1T is just this, said Mr.. Solomon
that Is his name-"a young man can't
afford to buy a diamond ring. Very
well. he doesn't need to do so. BE
comes to me. I take his note and lend
him q splendid diamond ring at a
reasonable rental. He gives it to his
tiancee. The marriage takes place in
the course of time and in few months
afterward the young man owns up and
takes back the ring upon which he has
been paying rent and gives it to me.
Risk? oh, none at all. I have his
note The humiliation that would
come from exposure should seek the
assistance of the law precludes the pos
sibility of his defaulting. Ihave never
lost a ring yet nor a dollar of rental.
The business has been a paving one.
and now that diamonds are to advance
it viii prove more profitable than
ever"
