STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Phoenix Post Office Had a Close Cal
 Yesterday.

Lightning came very near putting the new Phoenix postoffice out of busi
 ness yesterday, or at least electricity of some kind did. As it was the new fixtures in the office of Assistant Post his telephone was given a knockout blow and himself and other employees of that part of the office thought for a minute that they had been sent for with a bench warrant from on high.
 The trouble occurred simultaneously with q terrific clap of thunder yes terday afternoon, and it is supposed that the lightning struck the telephone wire, though it was later discovered that a street car wire on First street had fallen. But from one source or the other a cargo Of juice found it's way into the postoffice, that would have killed any one who might have had hold of the telephane at the time. The flash illuminated the room like meteor and set the telephone bell to ringing like nine time winner. The electricity shot out of the transmitter of the desk phone which looked after ward as though it had been held over a lamp and burned, the green cord was burned in two, in two or three places and partition below where the telephone was sitting was burned for several inches square. The illumination con- tinued- for several seconds, so long, in fact, that the building was believed to be we'll fired but as soon as the shock was over the fire was easily extin- guished and no alarm was sent in.
