Last Friday night about 8. p. m.
our little city and vicinity were
startled by one of the most terrible
bolts of lightning ever projected from
the clouds. 1t struck the heavily
laden telephone pole in front of this
Office and from the opposite pole
across the street a cloud arose as II
large shell had exploded there. The
shock was so great that people in the
immediate vicinity were dazed and
one person, Mrs. Sherman, stricken
downtown. The telephone seemed to
divide the forces in as many different
directions and thirty-two phones were
put out of business until the line
superintendent, Jack Kelly, put them
in shape.-Garber Sentinel.
Yesterday evening as the east
bound passenger train on the Man
gum branch of the Rock Island was
rounding a curve three miles east of
Hobart the engineer noticed an OBJ
struction on the track ahead. The
air brakes were applied, the engine
reversed and the train brought to a
standstill. The quick action of the
engine driver saved the train and It's
passengers The train crew went At
once TO the obstruction and found
it TO be cross tie A man that was
standing near by was taken in Gus
tody by the conductor. He admitted
that he had been there for quite
while, but said he was trying to get
the tie off the track. He was taken
on the train, but escaped when the
train started and is still at large.
