w. w. Olds met with an experience
on Tuesday in which he played o
precarious part which might have been
attended with fatal results. While
travelling by wagon on the Hill City
road. about three miles southwest of
that place, a violent rain and hail storm
came up, accompanied by heavy thun-
der and sharp lightning. and while
urging his team to increased speed to
gain shelter in a farm house near by, q
bolt of lightning anne down, shattered
two spokes in one of the wheels Of his
wagon and threw him out upon the
ground, badly stunning him but FORUM
ately infiicting no serious injury. The
team took fright and ran away, but were
soon caught by a man who happened to
be near the place at the time. Mr.. Odds
was going north on a prospecting trip,
and after completing the necessary re-
pairs upon his wagon wheel, at Hill
City, resumed his journey, exceedingly
thankful that the exciting event was not
attended with more serious results.

some strange power left her room by
means Of a sheet tied to the bsdpost
descending thus from the second story

found, ane it was not until the arrival
Of the train that her whereabouts was

she had just recovered from the strange

She had walked a distance of % miles,

Of the route over which she had trav-

is now a awful dream to her, and while
she is bruised and sore from her long
walk, she is entirely rational and thank
full that she escaped with her life, 1t
