Struck BY Lightning.

Greenvllle, June IA thunder storm
at o'clock last night was acc companied
by wind and hail In some localities near
the city, which proved destructive to
the growing crops and damaged fruit
trees to a considerable extent. The
most serious damage was in the vicin-
lty OF CAN'T, midway between here and
Piedmont, where cotton and corn we're
blown down by the furious wind, and
IN some instances the crops were almost
destroyed.
The electrical display during the
storm was quite unusual, the lightning
flashes being very frequent and dan
gerous, as the reports show that trees
were struck here and there. 1T the
residence of Mr.. j. a. Davenport, not
Tar from the city limits on the Augusta
road, bolt of lightning went through
the kitchen and thence into an adioin-
ing room, from which it ascended
through the roof, but did not set fire
to the building. Mr.. Davenport's lit
tic daughter was in the kitchen and
she was struck by the lightning, which
ran around her leg and tore her foot
Tor several inches, but fortunately she
was not greatly injured. Her presence
OF mind was remarkable, as she called
one OF the neighbors to their assistance
before realizing that she was at al
injured. Mrs. Davenport was in tn,
room adjoining the kitchen, and wa
coming through the door when tn,
bolt passed, making narrow escape
but she was severely shocked and suf
fered more than her daughter.--Th,

THE BIG MILL.

The work of getting the
grounds in shape for the big saw

ty men are at work and many
more wanted. The timber on
the land is being cut and piled
up; stumps are being pulled and
a general activity prevails. The
grounds are to be levelad up and
all the old shacks removed. Sam

dent of the whole works, and
Michael Sullivan of our village is
foreman this week, but will go to

he will run a camp this winter

cans of sixty first senatorial dis
trict are in quite a mix. w. F..
Street of Bemidji has many sup
porters, and is an able, aggres-
sive man. His attitude toward
the merger, and his general
friendliness to railroad interests
caused much opposition to his
candidacy in Red Lake and Nor
man counties, and a strong
effort was made to bring out DR..
N. M. Watson of Red Lake Falls.
DR.. Watson dallied with the
proposition, and his friends
waited. Meanwhile, e. j. Swed-
back of Bemidji, Streets own
town, got in the race. At the
next to the last minute, DR..
Watson refused to run, leaving
his friends up in the air, and at
the very last minute a candidate
from Norman county jumped in.
He is A. K. Strand, a well-mean-
ing farmer, who has apparently
entered without any encourage
ment. Neither he or Mr.. Swed-
back can compete with Mr..
Street in ability, and they will
divide the votes of those who are
opposed to him on principle.
The result will probably be his
nomination and election, as S. A.
Swanson, the populist candidate,
is not strong man, and the dis
trict is now republican.
