Ed Scully, of Seneca township. had
close call Tuesday afternoon about 4
o'clock. He was in the field blowing
corn and as it looked as If there might
be small shower of rain he stepped
off the seat of his pillow and was in the
act of putting on his coat when a bolt
of lightning knocked him senseless,
and the team ran away. Another par
ty, about twenty rods away, was stun
ned and fell on his knees but quickly
recovered and went to the assistance of
Mr. Scully, who was then partially re-
covered but unable to talk. He re-
gained his speech during the evening
and seemed to be no worse for the eX-
perience except n severe headache, but
lit was certainly a close call. The
paint was burned off one of the springs
on the plow.
Mason City.
The Mason City Coal Compgly has
decided to close out its bushes sAre and
dissolve. This decision was reached
this week in Chicago and Lee j. Ward,
the secretary, returned today to wind
| up the affairs of the company. The coal
business has had so many changes the
methods of handling coal in the past
six months that the jobber or middle
man finds the business profitless and
| hence the decision of the Mason City
company to go out of business. Only
the jobbers who own mines OF their own
can hope under the trust conditions to
be able to make profit by handling coal
and as President Newell, who owned
Hooking Valley mines, has disposed of
his mines to the trust at a handsome
| figure the company here decided it was
best to quit now while the business was
on the right side of t'ic ledger.
