While Agent f. A. Bemis was busy
in the dispensation of the particular
kind of lightning provided for him by
the authorities of the town. Friday
evening, the other kind, manipulated by
Jupiter Pluvius, got frisky and played
havoc with the genial Elias farm build
ings in another part of the town, occu-
pied by Don f. Allbee and wife. A
chimney was torn to pieces, flooring
ripped up, stove smashed, the plastering
torn off in several rooms and other play
full tricks performed that will take some
time and money to restore. Mr.. Bemis
went to his farm early Saturday morning
prepared to bottle up some of the real
thing for some of his troublesome custom.

Funeral of Edward Finnegan.
The funeral of Edward Finnegan was
held from the Roman Catholic Church
Tuesday morning, and attended by &
great number of sorrowing relatives and
friends. Mr.. Finnegan was 81 years ole
at the time of his death, and the disease
which terminated fatally Sunday was
contracted during one of the heavy
storms last winter. At that time the
deceased suffered great exposure, with
out extra clothing, while discharging
his duties as brakeman Oh the passen,
GER train, between Portland and thi
place. But with characteristic devotion
to duty he refused to leave his post and
as result a heavy cold settled on his
lungs which medical aid failed to dispe
and this developed into consumption
which was the cause of his death. Few
young men occupying like position
could be more sadly missed by the gen
eral or occasional travelling public thai
he will be. Always courteous, good Ia
tured and painstaking in the care an'
comfort of the passengers in his charge
eddie" was known and respecte
along the entire length of the road an
many will mourn his death who did nc
even know his name. He had attaine
: to the position he held from the yer
beginning of railroading and attained
and held it through the same devotio
to duty and care and perseverance i
+ looking after the interest of his emplo,
u ers that was the indirect cause of h
early demise. He is survived by
" widowed mother and three brothers an
: one sister, who have the sympathy {
the entire community in their bereav
) ment.
