STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Clarke Fork Raucher Seriously Injured by a
Thuader Bolt.

A severe electrical storm visited this
section last Tuesday evening and extend
ed over in the Clarke Fork country,
where Will Brown, a single man resid-
ing on ranch near Clark, was struck by
lightning, resulting in partial paralysis
and unconsciousness.
Brown was out on horseback looking
after an irrigating ditch when the bolt
struck him. About 10 o'clock he ap-
peared at the house and stood for sew
eral minutes on the steps in front until
the inmates called him in. Once inside
he acted peculiarly and could make no
Intelligent statement as to what was
the trouble. His horse was found in the
barnyard, all cut up from contact with
barbed wire fence, and Brown soon
became unconscious after arrival in the
house.
About o'clock at night a courier ar
rived in Red Lodge and Wednesday
morning DIR. Lutz went out to examine
the man. He found him still in a dazed
condition, with his left side completely
paralyzed. Brown could give no ac-
count of the event Of the previous night
and did not seem to realize that he had
been struck by lightning. He rallied
some before the physician left. but his
ultimate recovery is doubtful.

BOHEMIAN MILLIONAIRE USES GUN.
Nelson Storey and John Maxey Exchange
Shots Over Water Right Dispute.

"
Bozeman Courier: Quite little ex-
citement was caused Wednesday even
iDg when it became known that in dis
pute over water right just west OF town
Mr.. Nelson Storey and John Maxey took
shot or two at each other. One shot
took effect between two Of Maxey's toes,
causing painful but not serious wound.
We are at this time unable to give the
details, as some Of the eye witnesses
seem to differ SO nuch in their state
ments that just how many shots were
fired by each of the participants and
Just what size guns were used or where
the shot came from that struck Maxey's
foot seem to be differences Of opinion.
At any rate it is fortunate that the re-
suit was no more serious than it was, as
both men are considered good shots and
are not lacking any in courage
The general opinion seems to be that
neither parties we're shooting with in
tent to kill, or else their aim was decid-
edly bad. Owing to the prominence and
standing of the parties the affair has
created a great deal of comment and is
matter which is very much regretted by
their friends, and we sincerely hope the
trouble will be settled without any fur
ther controversy.

several harmless shots at Mrs. Phelps

through Strong hat without touching his
head. Strong then essayed to return with

eral hours by the two outlaws. Later,
however, the attempt was auccessful and
