"'Oh, thank you! And what shall ]

MUCH DAMAGE by LIGHTNING.
A Barn and Two Oil Tanks Burned in
TiOnesta Township.

The thunder storm of Friday after
noon was one of the most severe that has
visited this section in recent years, a
great deal of damage being caused by
lightning and by the rain which fell in
torrents.
A tank house and two 100 0-barrel tanks
on the Mckee farm in Tionesta township,
owned by G. II. Lowe & Co., were struck
by lightning and burned shortly after
four o'clock, together with about $50 bar
rels of oil which was stored in the tanks
waiting to be run on the following day.
The tank house was located some distance
from the other property on the lease and
nothing else was endangered by the fire.
The company's loss will be about $500,
exclusive of the shutdown which was
made necessary by the destruction of the
tanks.
About 4:30 the same afternoon the large
barn of Allison w. Mong, on his farm in
the Redbrush section of Tionesta town
ship, was struck by lightning and COM
pletely destroyed by the fire which fol-
lowed the bolt. Mr.. Mong had just come
from his plowing and was unhitching his
horses in the shed attached to the barn
when the building was struck at the
comb Of the roof the lightning coming
down both the front corners and within
ten feet of where Mr.. Mong was stand
ing. He was somewhat stunned but
managed to get the horses out and also a
wagon from the barn floor. The fire
caught in the straw and Mr.. Mong had
his hands severely burned in trying to
extinguish it. 1t soon got beyond his
control on account of the high wind
blowing. The barn was a good one,
3Sx66 feet and two stories high. In 1t
was stored 100 bushels of oats, so bushels
of wheat, five bushels of buckwheat, 500
pounds of chop, 40 pounds of wool, 1000
feet of pine and chestnut lumber, top
buggy, a two-seated hack, binder, a
tanning mill and cutting box, four or five
tons OF hay and straw, and other farm
implements. All this was destroyed, as
we'll as some meat buried in the oats, and
good Winchester rifle, which had been
taken out to shoot some crows. Mr.
Mong's loss will exceed 81, 500, on which
there was an insurance of 5000. He will
rebuild.
Lightning also set fire to the homes o.
Adam Mesly and James McWilliams, in
the same neighborhood, during this
storm, but the fires were extinguished
without damage. At Mr., MealY's home
lightning struck the gas line and set fiji E
to gas leak under the porch and in
few minutes it would have envel-
oped the house. A telephone pole near
the house was also struck, splinters from
it flying through an open window.
At Mr.. McWilliams' home the light
ming entered on the telephone wire, set
ting fire to the wall. On Monday eve-
ming of last week James, the seventeen
year-old son of Mr.. McWilliams, was
rendered unconscious by bolt of light
ming. He was caring for horse in the
barn when the lightning struck the roof,
coming down beam. Both the boy and
horse were knocked down, the boy being
unconscious when found and was revived
only after vigorous rubbing and the
services of a physician. He is all right
now and able to do his work.

YAKIMA MERCHANTS
Question About Which Road Is Short
est Should BE Dropped and
Bridge Made Accessible.

Yakima merchants and business
men are losing $4,000 each week
through the lack of a good road to
the Selah bridge. Such is state
ment made to the Herald by man
who knows whereof he is speaking,
and the suggestion rs made that no
more profitable step could be made
than to stop the discussion as to
whether to open North First street
or not and improve the present road
on North Fourth street.
Selah ranchers do not care which
road is in passabe condition. They
want chance to come here to trade.
They will not come as long as there
is poor road.
The Fourth street road can be
made a good one with little expense.
The business men can easily afford
to do this with the profit that will
accrue to them from the trade they
are now losing to the Selah stores,
and which naturally should come
here.
There is about a half mile of poor
road on the south side of the Selah
bridge, and with that exception the
entire length is in very good shape.
The opportunity is presented not
only to show public enterprise but
to make money by little movement
on the part of the business men, who
are now organized so that such steps
can be taken easily.
The Herald will be glad to furnish
the authentic information which has
been furnished to show how much
the Yakima merchants are losing
that should come here.

FAVOR N.ATATORIUM.
Business Men See Prospect for An
Attraction That Will Become
Famous.

Announcement that natitorium
Is to be built by the Rose Land COM
pany has caused many business men
of North Yakima to express them
selves of the belief chat such an in
stitution will be of great benefit to
the city, not only affording an amuse-
ment place but making an enterprise
which can become extensively adver-
tised as a Yakima drawing card
Other cities with large natitoriums,
such as Helena, Mont, Boise, and
Salt Lake City, Utah, have secured
much free advertising from this
source, their natitoriums being
known over the entire country.
North Yakima is especially well
situated for such an enterprise, for
the flowing water from the Rose we'll
is of high enough temperature to
keep a huge tank in comfortable con-
dition at all seasons without any
other heating apparatus than mother
earth The company has not an
nounced definite plans. but it seems
certain that during the latter part
of the summer construction work on
such building will be started. and
next year there will be a huge bath
ing house ir the city.

GRANTED DIVORCE
THIS IS RESULT OF THOMAS
CASE WHICH STIRRED VALLEY
Couple Given Final Papers Allowing
separation In the Court of
Judge PrcbIc.

Mrs. Coral j. Thomas was granted
a divorce at / $50 yesterday afternoon
by Judge Preble from Roy 4. Thomas
The couple are well known young
people from the southern part of the
country. Mrs. Thomas was formerly
Miss Coral J. Hatch of Alfalfa, where
her folks still reside, while Roy
Thomas people live at Granger. They
were married July 4, 1907, and the
evidence showed that the defendant
failed absolutely to support his wife
or to make any effort to do so.
Thomas was arrested once under the
statute making it felony for a man
to fail to support his wife but was re-
leased upon agreeing to amend his
ways, but from the evidence given in
the case yesterday he seems to have
failed to carry out he promise. The
plaintiff was permitted to resume her
maiden name. H. J. Snively appeared
for the plaintiff and Mr.. Wende for
the defendant. Mr.. Snively said #
the plaintiff would stand for it he
would send Thomas to the peniten-
tiary, but that his client was foolishly
tender-hearted and baked.
