Stables Struck and Eleven
Horses Burned During
Last Nights Storm.

The two-story frame stable of the
Woodstock Lumber Company at the
foot of James street. was struck by
lightning at half past Two this morning
and practically burned to the ground.
Eleven horses were either burned to
death or ~suffocated. When the building
was struck the Waterman was shocked
to some extent. In an instant the build
ing was enveloped in flames.
EFFORTS TO SAVE THE HORSES.
He quickly recovered and sent in an
alarm from the nearest fire box, and
then did the best he could in the way of
rescuing the horses that were fastened
in the stable.
People residing in the neighborhood,
awakened by the bright glare, hurried
to the scene and assisted in the rescue
of the horses. They were able to get
only three out before the flames stopped
their work.
Five or six others managed to break
their halters, and for fully ten minutes
plunged madly through the flames ana
smoke. Although one of the big doors
of the main entrance was open the ami
mails only dashed by it. They kicked
and neighed p~itifully for a short time.
and then their struggles ceased, and
nothing was to be heard only the crack
ling of the timber as it burned.
BURNED TO A CRISP
The bodies of some of the horses were

There is a rule at Smith College that no

man unless he is her brother. her fance.
or a near relation. Now, once Upon a
time. not many years ago, a young man
went there to see a girl with whom he

he wished to be in one of them. And
like any sensible young fellow in such a
pretty town, he asked her to take a
