Partner Was Killed.

Tower.-G. R. Tyskling, of Duluth.
had narrowing experience in the
woods, about thirty miles from this
place, during "a recent storm. Mr..
Tyskling is land locator and with
Joseph Johnson was making a trip in
search of land.
Il was taking Johnson to see some
claims in that territory said Mr..
Tyskling, and we were about ten
miles from our destination, when a
storm suddenly arose. We pitched our
tent and got inside and had only just
been comfortably seated when a flash
of lightning, followed by a terrific
crash of thunder rendered me uncon-
scious. When I regained my con-
seriousness I was unable to move
muscle and was stretched out full
length on my back. My head was
turned so that I could see Johnson in
the same position. l realized at once
that he was dead. I thought that
would be my fate in a few moments
The bolt struck us shortly after
noon, and it was not until midnight
that I began to feel the blood circulat-
ing through my limbs. About O'Clock
in the morning I was able to rise to
my feet and walk around little. l
made my way back to Tower. Before
I left piled stones all around the tent
so that wild animals could not devour
the body of my friend"

After Standard Oil.

St. Paul.-Within a few days the
State of Minnesota will institute pro-
ceedings against the Standard Oil
company in an attempt to Gust the
company from the state because of
alleged violations of the Hinton anti
discrimination law passed last winter.
Attorney General E. T. Young is
authority for the statement that the
suit will be instituted in a few days
in the district court of Ramsey or
Hennepin county.
Since the filing of the complaint
with Secretary of State Seminal in May
an investigation has been made quiet
ly of the evidence which could be pro-
duced in the event of the suit being
brought. The investigation included
analyses of the grade of oil sold at
various points in which it is alleged
there was a discrimination in prices,
and of the other evidence which could
be produced to prove the sale of the
oil at each of the places at the various
prices alleged in the complaint.

Cistern Blew Up.

Mrs. James McWalters, 1856 Russell
avenue north, was the victim of an
unusual accident during the recent
storm. She is at the Minneapolis city
hospital and probably will die.
During the storm Mrs. McWalters
noticed that the cistern under the
house was running over. She raised
up trap door in the kitchen floor to
investigate. A can of gasoline which
had been in the kitchen had leaked
and the oil ran down into the cistern
and was floating ON the water.
Mrs. McWalters struck match in
order to look into the cistern. The
match burned her fingers and she
dropped it. There was an explosion
which nearly wrecked the kitchen.
The flames burst up in Mrs. Nc

Just Had to Talk.

1t was a real hardship for Judge
Brown to have to keep silent for any
length of time. Even when travelling
he usually found some one who would
at least listen while he talked. But
on one occasion he found himself in
a railway coach with only one other
occupant-a stiff, dignifed old lady,
who did not deign even to look at
him when he raised his hat upon en-
tering the coach
The judge grew restless after they
had travelled several miles. He
drummed on the windows, coughed
several times, then finally, in despera-
ton, cleared his throat, and asked
in stentorian tone:
Madam, did it ever occur to you
to wonder whether it had ever rained
any before the time of the flood?"
The unusual question startled the
old lady out of her dignified silence
and the two old people were soon en-
gagged in animated conversation
