last week. A farmer coming up that

one in the wagon and one beneath his

across the track, was struck by car

Chss. Kickhoefer, a young man liv-
ing in the town of Easton, was brought
to st. Mary's hospital Friday morning
suffering from severe injuries sustained
that morning in falling from roof.
He was engaged with other men in
shingling barn belonging to his father,
Rhinehard Kickhoefer, and slipped off
the roof and tell, landing on some lum-
Der. His right arm and leg were frac-
| tnred and the right portion of his body
was severely bruised. Considering the
distance he fell, about 80 feet, it is a
wonder that his injuries were not more
| serious.
The storm of Friday was the first good

damage resulting from that source.
The flashes of lightning caused the fire
alarm bell in the east side engine house

testing of the system later. Although
considerable rain fell it had no appre-
| ciable effect in raising streams. The
ground was like sponge and soaked it
up as fast as it fell.

animals up, but liberated them next
