 was struck by a bolt of lightning and
 the inmates considerably shocked. The paper in the w c. T. U. room was
 burned and a hole torn in the porch
 outside.
 WHITE WINGS-The local nimrods
 have been making fifteen mile trips all simmer to get the best white wing shooting, some going south of Tempe, and others southwest of Phoenix. In previous years the shooting has been good just across the river south of town, and the fact there were practic- ally no birds there had led many to believe the white wings were getting pretty well killed off. Shooters who have been along the river in the past week, within two or three miles of town, report a better flight than they
 have ever seen there. The birds are "bunching." which is an indication they will soon leave for their winter home in the south; nearly all the birds killed are squabs, and very fat.
 A RAIN AND ELECTRIC STORM.- Phoenix and vicinity was visited last night by a brief but violent rain and electric storm which stole up very suddenly The afternoon had been clearer than on any day for q week.

There was q terrific believing of thunder and flash ing of lightning and then the bottom began to drop out of the clouds. In
