LIGHTNING PLAYS
STRANGE PRANK

Virgil Cornell, a sheep owner OF
Bridgeport, California, arrived in
Reno last evening for the purpose of
visiting with his mother, who is quite
Ill, and tells a peculiar story in re-
gard to lightning striking a number
of sheep during a thunder storm,
says the Reno Gazette, at the head of
the Carson river on Sunday, and kill
ing them all.
Cornell safes that J.. E. Powell, a
stock raiser, residing near the head
of the Carson river, had ninety-two
sheep grazing in the woods neal the
river when the thunder storm occur
red. The sheep all ran under a large
tamarack tree for shelter and the
herder and his dog sought the shelter
of another tree nearby.
During the storm, a bolt of light
ming struck the tree under which the
sheep were resting. split the tree
into two parts and killed every sheep
in the bunch. The herder and his
dog had just started to go toward
the sheep when the lightning struck
and both dog and man were thrown
violently to the ground and stunned,
but were otherwise uninjured.
Cornell states that the lightning
laid the sheep out in parallel rows,
just as II some one had killed each
sheep separately and then laid them
out in even rows. He states that the
lightning did other damage in that
vicinity, but that no human being:
were killed.

Citizens Help the Good Cause.

- -
Last night the streets of Tonopah
were n mass OF surging humanity
People hearing the strains of music
were drawn from their homes and
Others on hearing the fire apparatus
being taken to the center of the city,
hurried down town fearing a confla-
grafton. The Tonopah brass band,
an organization whose members are
always willing to aid in the public
cause were out discoursing music to
attract the crowds so the speakers
could enlighten them on what would
happen at the two local theaters to-
night. The volunteers will certainly
reap a good benefit and deserve 1t.
for there are no more self sacrificing
set of men in a community than the
volunteer firemen. The firemen of
Tonopah are anxious to build a GYM
nasium and to that end have secured
a lease on the theaters, and adding
local talent of a high order will fur
nish a return to the citizens who con
tribute to his own interest. The
program as outlined tonight for the
small sum of so cents is certainly a
good one. The volunteers are keeping
in reserve certain features of the bill
and the surprise in store for those
attending viii be novel and pleasing.
Turn out tonight and help the fire
laddies.

Independent of congress. A lagoon
near the mouth of the Coquille river
defects a considerable volume of wa
ter from the channel, lessening its
securing efficiency and causing the
formation from time to time of a
sand bar, The money. of which a con-
siderable amount has been already
subscribed by public spirited citizens,
business men and mill and ship own
ers, will be used to build a break wa.
ter across the lagoon. 1t is the opin-
ion of engineers in the government
service that this will confine the wa
ter to the main channel and keep the
sand washed away.
The regular government appropria-
tion of 100000, which is being ex-
pended on the North Jetty, is making
a wonderful improvement in the en-
trance to the river and no vessels
have been barbound for a period Of
nearly a year.
