SEVERE LOSSES.

During Monday and Tuesday eve
nings' storms, number of barns around
the country in this vicinity were struck
by lightning and burned to the ground
with nearly the entire crop of hay and
grain.
On Monday evening the fine large
barn belonging to Herman Schefhebein
living southwest of Yale, was Struck
10y lightning and nearly everything was
burned. He lost 10 tons of last years
baled hay, and about 80 tons of this
years crop, ESQ bushels of new
wheat and oats and some old, one
horse, his blacksmith shop and all the
out-buildings. The total insurance on
house and barn buildings was $500,
but his loss all told will be about five
thousand dollars
Tuesday evening the barns of George
Losing, living one mile south and six
miles east of Yale, and Harry Hearn,
living near Avoca were burned to the
ground. Mr.. Losing just recently
moved onto this place and lost all this
years hay, some grain and new hay
loader. The barn was very large one.
The people were out milking when the
storm broke and the shock of the light
ming knocked Mrs. Losing down and
stunned the others. AS soon as pos
sible they let the cattle and horses out
and got out as much machinery as pos
sible. His insurance was 81 1900, $500
on contents and $500 on the barn. His
loss will exceed $1,000, however.
We have been unable to learn any
particulars concerning the Hearn fire,
and several others which were seen.
The stump fence on John Robertson's
place caught fire and burned.

That he Would Accept Service
For Suit by Mail

Guthrie, Oct, I7,--Upon his return from
Ohio yesterday Governor Haskell gave an
interview in reply to the statement given
the Associated Press night by
Hearst. lie said: "As to Hearst's Omaha
statement that he had ssent me letter
stating that he would shelp pay the ex-
penses of prosecuting Ihim and would
accept service Of summons by notice
mailed to him at any time, both state
ments are faIsehoods. He has not sent
me word OF any kind in any way When
found that he had left his spectacular

guarded every trunk line gateway ST,
Paul sto Omaha, Kansas City to Fort
Worth and Houston, determined that he
should not escape me. am advised that
three times on his train east bound he
emphatically denied his identity. Having
studied Hearst's character somewhat
advised my representatives to search the
trains Tor him with the greatest care
stating that under the seats or in the
toilet room would be likely where they
would find him concealed. Last night
they found him at Omaha, as shown BY
the following telegram:
Secured personal service here Thurs
day at midnight Actually found hin
hiding in Pullman toilet room as yol
predicted"
my analysis Of Hearsts character
proving correct was the fortunate means
by which we discovered his hiding plac,
