BAD STORM VISITS OGDEN
Lightning Strikes in Two Places
and Heavy Rain Floods
the Streets.

The second severe electrical storm to
visit Ogden in less than twelve hours
arrived about IL o'clock yesterday
morning and made things interesting
during its short Duration The storm
was heralded by a binding flash of
lightning and heavy peal of thunder
The lightning struck tree near the
corner of Twenty-siXth street and Lin
coin avenue, and tore a part of the
bark from the tree. People in the
neighborhood of where the lightning
struck experienced heavy vibrations of
the houses Following the peal of
thunder came a heavy dOwnDOur that
soon filled the cutters throughout the
business portion of the city to over
flowing.
On Twenty-fifth street the lightning
struck the wires of the Utah Light &
Railway company. Although the dam
age was slight, the system was put out
of commission for a short time. At the
power house one of the transformers
was slightly damaged. The same
storm shifted north to the Bear river
station of the same company and out
of four transformers three were in
jured.
A bolt of lightning struck the wires
near the city JAIL lighted the lamps
In the Jail and for a time played peek
a-boo around the steel cells with re-
ports as loud as pistol shots. The
prisoners We're somewhat terrified, but
none of them suffered from shock.

F0RGER GETS AWAY.
Clever Fraud Worked on a Nevada
Bank

A clever forgery came to light yes
terday through a draft drawn on the
First National bank of Winnemucca,
which was presented to the First Ma
tional bank of Ogden on June g. The
draft was for S437, and was made out
in the name 70 James Wilson.
Wilson came to ogden more than a
month ago and engaged a room at
the apartment house of Oscar Peter
son on Twenty-fOuTth street. He Gre
ated good impression and informed
the proprietor that he was awaiting a
draft from Nevada. In due time the
draft put in an appearance, and Will
son asked Peterson to go to the First
National bank and identify him. Peter
son accommodated the fellow and en-
dorSed the draft for him
A short time after receiving the
money Wilson went to Salt Lake and
has since disappeared. The draft was
forwarded to the Nevada bank and
paid, thus releasing both Peterson and
the local bank from liability. It was
not until some time later that the draft
was discovered to be a clever forgery.
The loss falls upon the Winnemucca
bank.
