| Beware of a man who wants you to
strike an enemy for him. He will run
away when you get in trouble. He's the

benefit, but don't want his name men,
toned or be known in the matter. The

ed of several for one dollar each.

moments there was brilliant stationary
electrical display. The lightning then
ran along the pipe until it reached what
is know as the Saddle" which exploded
with a loud report. The fire poured
from the open like meteoric shower,
and shot about eagerly seeking other vic
Tins. A prompt alarm was sent out, and
under the direction of Superintendent
George Banner, who, fortunately, was in
the neighborhood at the time, the dam
