PENDLET0N, Or, June L. Daniel
Waters of starkey, Umatilla County, was
struck by lightning on Sunday and left
partly disabled. He was standing near a
large tree, which sheltered him from the
storm. The lightning struck the upper
part of the tree, tore off some of the top
branches and ran down the trunk. The
bolt entered Waters right shoulder, ran
down his body and right leg to the knee,
where the current also struck the Ief:
knee, divided and then passed down to
both feet, bursting both of his shoes. The
burned clothes and even the glove on his
right hand show where the Lightning had
passed.
Waters fell unconscious, and how long
he remained SO he does not kaow. When
he began to recover he knew what had
happened, though for time he was per-
fectly helpless. By degrees the use of his
hands came back, a nd, being on hillside,
he succeeded in turning over. ..-& IL
he saw that his body appeared to be
badly burned. HIS legs were paralyZed
and he says they felt as though they were
crushed to pieces, the torn and burned
condition of his shoes and clothing help
ing doubtless 10 create this impression.
. The pain was not very severe until the
blood began to circulate. Then 1t was in
tense. ..-s -.
Waters succeeded eventually in crawl
ing to the top Of the ridge, about 300
yards, and found that the exercise was
doing him good. A searching party found
him soon afterward and he was carried to
the nearest house. He is now suffering
from bad burns on his right side, leg and
head. The cords in the right leg are
drawn up and he is left nearly deaf in his

RANDSBURG. CAL, June L-For the
first time the citizens committees of
Randsburg and johannesburg have had
to "pull in their horns, and bow to the
will OF a yiolator of the unwritten law OF
the Rand. That the offender is woman
is responsible for this capitulation, for no
where can be found more true gallantry,
sincere though it be rough and uncouth,
than on the border. Mrs. Squires, who
was ordered by the Joint committee from
the two camps TO discharge two Japanese
cooks in her employ at Hotel Johannes
burg, blaved wrath of the border men
by refusing 10 obey. Il.
Had a manor number of men been guilty
of. such a defiance his or their punish

Gus. But7a womanl That was different,
and the committee. as announced. in
these dispatches last night, decided to
call a second mass-m Meeting of the entire
population OF the TWO camps before taking
decisive action +. -
This meeting was held tonight in the
Hollenbeck restaurant. Instead OF author
izing speedy descent upon. the hotel of
the offending employer OF Japanese it was
mild in its deliberations. The conclusion
arrived: at was that it would be polite to
grant forty-eight hours grace to Mrs.
Squires. If she remains obdurate at the
end of that period-well, possibly there
will.b another mass meeting.
II To-nig meeting was well attended.
The report ofthe joint com mittees APP
pointed tonotify the management of the
Hotel johannesburg to discharge its
Japanese employees was accepted. The
committee explained the situation fully
and suggested that the lsndlady. Mrs.
Squires, be giyen.a little time to engage
other help. Several speeches were made,
all OF which were in favor of extending
the period of grace. Then another COM
mittee of three was appointed TO wait
upon Mrs. squires and requesther to heed
the voice of the people and let the Japan
