Probably the first automobile ever seen
In this vicinity passed through here last
Friday evening. #
A very severe thunder storm, accom-
panied by q veritable gale, struck this
place late Saturday afternoon, during
which the large eagle on the weather vane
above the new brick building was blown
off his perch, or rather the eagle and
perch were deposited on the ground.
The lightning struck and followed the
telephone wires into the company's Office,
burning the connections and filling the
room with SMOKE. Two distinct reports
could be heard byA the people in the adj
joining room. A curious part of the per-
Torrance was that at the time of the two
reports being heard two flashes were seen
a few feet apart Gand a number Of feet
away from the tslephone7or wires.
There will be, a game of base ball Sat-
urday afternoon on the Pinney grounds

local team. The game will be called at

eral of the ladies have expressed them
selves as being willing to contribute to
the expense OF the game, an opportunity
will be given them to help to the amount
of ten cents each. All lovers of the game
may be assured Of an interesting contest,
without the very disagreeable conduct
that has been a marked feature of some
games played here, and which was not
lenttfeiy absent In the contest Of the 4th
of July, when "chewing the rag" took
the place Of playing ball. No extra charge
for reserved seats on the stone wall.
Each one is expected to bring their own
life-preserver. The umpire will not be
mutilated In the least, as he will carry an
electric battery up his sleeve. Children
can earn little spare change fishing
balls out of the well, and when the local
team are at bat by hunting up lost balls
in the birches near Pills shanty. Ladies'
will be allowed to wear their hats during
the. performance, and the gentlemen to
go out between the acts. Come early
and bring your pocketbook and all your
trelations.
