peculiar in its action. 1t seemed to
flash through every home and business
place in the city, and of course every
one thought it struck near them. At

man, stopped his horse in front of p.

was about to put the tie weight down
on the sidewalk when the flash came
His horse made lunge with an action
nearly as quick as the flash of tighten
ing had come, and started off up the
street. A farmer named John Belohla-

farmers rig and made sorry looking
wreck of it, but doing little damage to
the formers dray or to the animals
hitched to either vehicle.
