BEDROCK, MONTANA

An accident which nearly proved
fatal to G. x. Decker and Cecil Soden
occurred at noon today about six
miles from Bedrock. The two men
who were out to repair the telephone
were overtaken by a thunder storm.
They had just laughed off the idea OF
danger, when both weresknock sense.
less by a stroke OF lightning. Mr..
Decker soon recovered and worked for
sometime with Cecil, dragging and
rolling him around on the ground,
until he began to show some signs OF
life. He then got him into the
wagon and drove to Bedrock, reach
ing here about 1870. The jar Of the
wagon undoubtedly helped to start
the circulation, after friends had
worked over Cecil for an hour or more
he began to improve, and tonight is
feeling quite comfortable. Both Mr..
Decker and Cecil have several bad
burns on their bodies.
BEDROCK, MONTANA, July 8, 1904.
DEAR FATHER:-I enclose clipping
which explains itself. The lightning
had not flashed for nearly an hour
when this fash came. A pole was

missing in the telephone line and the
wire was hanging within seven feet
Of the ground. I had to make a trip
out that way with some sheep herders
and the manager OF the telephone
line asked me to get man to help
and set the pole. We were standing
under the wire and I had a steel bar
picking the ground and Soden had the
shovel. had just let go OF the bar
to 60 and get under the wagon and /
don't believe the bar had hit the
ground yet when the fash came.
The place where the lightning
struck the wire was about mile west
of US and it shivered eleven poles
from end to end before it got to u.s.
The bar is undoubtedly what drew
the current from the wire.
The other fellow (Soden) is getting
along fine and I think will be all
right in a week or two. He had
marks all over his body except on his
head and his watch chain was melted
in spots. All Of my burns are below
my belt and are all right now except
where my knife came in my right
pants pocket and this does not pain
me any now although it is burned
quite deep. My muscles ache some
yet but are getting better all the
time and / am on duty all right.

ponies and l am planning on some

as high as two hundred per day but
most of them can only shear about
one hundred per day. They travel in

were one gang of Mexicans, one gang
from California and three gangs OF
Mormons from Utah and Idaho. The
California gang were the most expert
and were a nice sober lot of men.
Most OF them came from place called

option on the same.

the society was of much Importance
A. M. Muir highly endorsed the
plan of circulating subscription
among the business men for securing
one or two Thousand dollars.

plan of each subscribing a certain
amount to be paid each month. He

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got
our agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents for
- I'VE mustn't tell names.
We wanted 'em. Paine was painting
his big Colonial house. Said il took
10 gallons of white for the trim.
We sent him ten gallons and said: ii
you get it all on, no pay for the rest.
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint was
and is adulterated; that's why it took
ten gallons to equal six OF ours.
