Lightning played havoc out at the
farm Of Charles Boles south of town
Tuesday afternoon during the storm.
He and his men were haying and had
taken refuge under the end of can
vas stack cover during the rain, and
were holding their teams by them.
There were three teams, and bolt of
lightning hit them, killing four, a span
of mules and a team of horses. One
horse belonged to Elmer Shennefleld
and the other three belonged to Mrs.
Walter Boles. The strangest part of
the affair was that the men were not
injured. although they were holding
the teams when struck, and Mr.. Bo1es
had just reached out from where he
was sitting and had his hand on the
knee of one of the horses to keep him
back.

The annual opening at Bedell $ Pharmacy on Main street yesterday brought out several thousand men, women and children and throughout the day and up to a late hour last night that place was literally damned with persons who patronized the vari ous departments literally.

The interior of the pharmacy was attractively decorated. Beautiful and useful souvenirs were given away, every man, woman and child receiving one.
