escape OF Louis q. Stetson, son of II.
Il. StetsOn, of this town. He is EN-
plOyed as salesman in the store of
OShea Brothers in that city and dur
ing a severe thunder storm went to
the roof of the building to take in the
flag, he secured it and scarcely a mo-
ment had passed when a deafening
peal of thunder and a flash of lightning
came splitting the flag pole from top
to bottom and tearing up several feet
of the slate roofing where he had stood
but few seconds before. He was a
little weakened but not perceptably
stunned. Everyone is glad to hear OF
his escape from harm as he is genial
young man and favorite in town.
