BOLT THAT KILLED MRS.
TALBOT DID OTHER HARM

The funeral Of Mrs. Charles Talbot,
wife of the Rock Islan6 arsenal en-
pluye, who was killed at Anita, Iowa,
by being struck by lightning Wednes-
day afternoon, was held from the
home in Davenport today. The details
of the tragedy, which were given out
upon the return of the family. show
that others narrowly escaped being
killed also. Mrs Talbot. with her
husband and little daughter. had bare
~ reached the home of Mr.. Talbot's
father. whom they had gone to
visit, when the place was struck,
in fact, the storm came up while they
were yet on the road. The husband
was shocked severely and his father
was badly hurt. The house took fire
and burned to the ground, the inmates
barely being able to escape with their
lives and save the remains of Mrs,
Talbot.

ORANGEMEN'S PICNIC WILL
ATTRACT MANY TOMORROW

Many Rock Island people are pre-
pairing to attend the picnic of the
Orangemen tomorrow at Little's
grove on the county line two miles
north of Presumption. The recent
rains have settled the dust and fresh
ened the vegetation so that trip in
to the country will be quite an attrac-
ton in addition to the picnic itself.
which is always one of the big events
in the southern part of the county.
Owing to the Encouragement of the
train service on the Mercer county
branch of the Rock Island it will be
necessary for those who wish to go
out by rail to leave the city at 5:45.
so it is likely that the proportion Of
those who find other means of get
ting there from Rock Island will be
unusually large this year.
