LIGHTNING WAS POLITE.
Played Franks. but Said Adieu on
 Bell Before Leaving House.

Derby, Aug 10.-Hurling half a dozen uncorked bottles containing ink and other fluids down a long stairway without spilling any of their contents was among the pranks played by lightning at the home of William M. Davis in Cottage street "Wednesday night. None of the bot ties was even cracked.
 The electric bolt entered window, circled a brass bed in which Mir and Mrs Ellsworth E. Straun were sleep ing. only slightly shocking them, and t.-en leaped to a shelf on which were the bottles and a lamp. The lamp was untouched. and the bottles were swept out of the room twenty feet to the hall on the floor below.
 The lightning left the house by the electric door bell wire. ringing the bell as 1t went out and singeing the hair of Mir Straun's pet dog on the verandn. The same bolt, 1t is thought. opened the skylight on --mes McNamara's house next door.

Stelisland of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue state bank in which was concealed a -reeovd of $19, ,000 of savings bank deposits, another sensational book came to light during the examination of Cashier Herring by Assistant States Attorney Olson at the bank last night This book showed that the missing president was a heavy plunger on the races. It contained memoranda of the campaigns on the turf. One day Stensland and some companions bet $75.000 to win S60,00O on certain horse. The animal won.
 There were lots of loslngs, howev- CT. shown by the book.
 The authorities are chary of repos- ing implicit confidence in Hering's Statement that he did not forge the names on certain notes and by impli- cation insinuating that Stensland did.
 The actual securing of money on bad paper always was put through at noon, when the paying teller was out at lunch. Then Herring would enter his cage. take the money. and leave a debit slip on the hook This Is what happened on July 2S. Herring admits that he took s1,00O from the paying teller's drawer. put the money in his pocket, and put on the spindle a slip charging the sum to a mythical "Umbach."
 In the case of the money borrowed by Stensland from the bank. Herring said that Stensland had instructed him to make between SIc0.OO0 and S900.OOO in forged notes. signed. care fully with the names of prominent patrons of the bank. Also, at Stems lands dictatlon. he cared fer these notes and credited interest on them from time to time, and was directed by Stensland to keep them carefully away from the eyes of the note tell CT. in order that notices should not be sent to the bank patrons whose names had been forged.
 Those who listened to Hering's story were State Bank Examiner C. c. Jones. Assistant States Attorneys Harry olson and James Barbour. As sistant Superintendent of Police Schuettler. Inspector Shippy. Attor- ney Joseph weisenbach. representing Receiver John c. Fetzer. and squad of detectives. One of the investiga- tors remarked that Stensland left ST. Oo0.OC0 in his bank and other banks where he could have reached for 1t quickly had he been so Inclined. At any rate he could have put in his pocket just before he left abogt S2Oo.- GOO in cash and nobody would have been the wiser until he was far away.
