reply to the hot cross-examination Of
Attorney-General Blair, before the

hearing on the Michigan Central suit
TO set aside the state assessment.
The suit involves directly railway

indirectly the constitutionality of the

charter and the many millions of taxes
thus included.

important witness for the railroad, and

the Michigan Central is attempting TO
prove that the general assessments
throughout the state are below cash
value, and consequently the Michigan

percentage, being assessed at cash
value. Sayre made the significant ad.

estimate on Michigan Central values.

Rabbit Discharged Gun.

PHILADELPHIA, November 19-Martir
Price, living near the golf links at North
field, took his gun yesterday and went ou,
after rabbits. A big one appeared and
Price chased it until it disappeared in a
hole.
The hunter laid his gun down, got a
golf stick and pushed it into the burrow
The gun was cooked already for Price to
pick up and shoot.
The cottontail came out with rush
and it's first bound landed it on the gun.
Its fore feet struck the trigger and the
gun was discharged, both barrels going
off at once.
Price was in STOPPING position, his
dog near him. He was just far enough
out of the line of the gun to escape the
full force of the charge in it, but two fin
gers were torn off, his leg was badly la
cerated, and his left cheek filled with shot.
One of the dogs legs was shot off. The
rabbit is still at large.-New York Sun.

the church in regard to President Kilgo,
this having existed several years. Some

STRIPPED HIM OF CLOTHES.
Natures Electricity Played Queer Prank with
Colorado Victim.

|
A binding flash, loud and sudden
crack of thunder, a sensation as of some
one striking you in the face and then
darkness and Inconsistencies.
That is how it feels to be struck by
lightning. 1t is the way Art Bruer, a
conductor for the Manitou and Pixies Peak
road, who had his clothing torn from his
body by lightning last week, describes
the sensation.
Although Bruer's clothing was torn to
shreds, his conductors cap removed from
his head, the fleece lining of his under
wear set on fire and blue streak burned
across his chest from shoulder to shoulder,
he recovered consciousness few minutes
later and was able to bring his train from
the summit of Pixies Peak to the cog road
station at Manitou.
There are no tailor shops or hand-me-
down stores on the peak and Bruer Dor.
rowed.a Navajo Indian blanket from the
curio shop there and performed his duties
as conductor while arrayed like an Indian.
The incident was one of the most Pc
culiar freaks of lightning on record. 1t
has been known to perform strange antics,
but never before has it stripped a man
so completely of his outer clothing, tossed
his hat into the air, left an indelible stamp
on his body, rendered him unconscious
for a few minutes and then left him
almost unhurt, with no burns except a
long thin line of blue on his chest and set
fire to the fleece lining of the underwear
without burning or scorching any other
article of his wearing apparel.
Bruer believes he was born lucky. In
the present instance this was better than
to have been rich. The chances of mans
life being spared in such a case are so
small as to pe almost in6nitesimal.
At the time he was struck by the light
ming he was standing on the steps of the
coach, holding the brass railing with both
hands, preparing to start on its journey
down the peak. The passengers were all
aboard and everything was in readiness
for the downward start.
Suddenly there was binding flash
and deafening crash of thunder. A blue
streak of forked lightning shot across the
peak on its way from one cloud to an
other. En- route it encountered the form
of Bruer and his body formed the circuit
which shot the bolt into the top of Pixies
Peak. After the passengers had recover
ed from their momentary fright they saw
the insensible form of Bruer lying on the
ground.
They fastened to him to pick him up,
as they supposed, dead, when, to their
utter astonishment, he sat upright and
looked bewildering about him. To in
quiries he replied that he was not hurt,
"only stunned" but one man discovered
that the fleece underwear was bnrning.
The fire was extinguished and the Navajo
blanket borrowed. The clothing which
had been torn by the electricity was pick
ed up and brought to Manitou.-Colorado
Springs Gazette.
