8 Jake" kinEen Falls Off
Balcony and Is Badly
Hurt

James Kingen was seriously hurt in
an accident which befell him Tuesday
afternoon. He was playfully locked
out on balcony in the Second story
Of the Kingen residence on First
avenue southeast, there to remain
until he promised to be good. Intend
ing to outwit his friends Jake, as
he is more familiarly known, caught
hold of the balcony railing, his
purpose being to let himself down as
low as he could by hanging with his
hands and then drop to the ground.
He no sooner got a good hold of the
railing, however, when it broke and
preclpitated him to the cement walk
below. He fell on his left arm, hurt
his wrist 30 badly that it was very
badly swollen up, and received very
bad shaking up. 1t Is not thought
that he sustained any internal
injuries; but besides this, his chm,
hip. knee and other parts Of. his body
were badly bruised. :,
He is lucky to have escaped more
serious injuries, as the fall he received
was bad one.

LIGHTNING STRIKES HOME OF
FRANK DUFORT. ~ ..r@.s

Lightning struck the Frank Dufort
residence located on Eighth street
southeast during the thunder storm
which visited here Monday evening,
and caused damage to it to the extent
Of nearly $100. ST..
The bolt came through the roof near
the chimney, tearing hole fully two
feet in diameter, then proceeding
through the hall upstairs and down
through the sitting room, tearing
down the paper and plasterlng and
otherwise doing considerable damage
to the rooms. Holes in the walls also
mark it passage through the parlor
and kitchen, but not as badly as with
the other rooms mentioned. In the
parl0r it made round hole in the
wall big enough to pass two fingers
in, and after blackening and knocking
off strip of moulding five feet in
length, zig-zaged down the wall back
of q mirror.
At the time of the occurrance only
Mrs. Dufort, Mrs. James Gravel and
the little Dufort 21-2 year-old
daughter were at the house. Mrs.
Gravel was in a. room upstair, adioin-
ing the hallway, with the little girl in
her arms when the lightning struck
the place. The shock numbed her,
and caused her to drop the baby on the
flour. The little one was stunned,
but revived within five minutes. "

STRUCK ON THE EYE BY PLAY.
NATE,

An unfortunate occurance was that
in which Oswald Kosloski, little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Austin Kosloeki.
received hit over the eye which
lacked but haf inch Of seriously
efecting the eye organ. While play
ing with the lad Tuesday morning,
Robbie Davis q playmate, suddenly
delivered the blow with a sharp
bone he had picked up There
seems to have been no ill feel
ing between the two boys; but it is
simply one of the many little things q
lad of that age is apt to do without
thought of the consequences. It:was
necessary to have a doctor take q
stitch in the cut and it will be two
or three weeks before the eye, which
is black-and- blue, is entirely healed up.

CHAa BARNHART RETURNS
FROM TRIP 10 NEW MEXICO. &

Cha9. B0rnhart OF 610neop0lt1
formerly Of this city, arrived yessar-.
day for VISIT He has Just sturned
from q trip to Idaho and New lfexioDs,5
and gives q very interesting report of
tho conditions there. he Il went to
Idaho several months ago, leaving
that state Tor New Mexico 1Ast Anil
Mr.. Barnhart looked over tho counttry
in the vicinity of Hillsboro New
Mexico, q mining town, and sAys that
everything is pretty quiet IN that
territory at present because Of htiga-l
tions the big mining companies have
begun, in an effort to acquire some
valuable mining property. The recent
money panic has also contributed to
the unsettled conditions in that
vicinity. It is his opinion that when
things take their natural course again
New Mexico will prove great mining
country. New Mexico is q stock
raising country, but has been pretty
well overdone during the past few
years, according to Mr.. Barnhart. He
states that drought has visited that
territory, and that the settlers say that
unless relief is secured within week
or SO, very large number of cattle
will perish, causing heavy loss to the
ranch owners.
On his return trip Mr.. Barnhart
passed through the states of Kansas
+ and Iowa. In Kansas he reports the
corn crop as being practically des-
troyed by the excessive amount of rain
storms, the land being flooded for
miles abont. TEL On reaching Kansas
City he was surprised by the spectacle
that presented itself. The Union
depot was five feet under water, and it
was with great difficulty that the
railroad bridge could be kept from
being foated. His was the last
passenger train to go over it and this
was done only by running string Of
weighted cars just in front and in
back Of the train in order to pass it
over whit any degree of safety. &
Iowa crops are a little earlier than
southern Minnesota and therefore look
a little better. -a III:

Fine Courtesy In Alaska.

Life in Alaska is nncouth in parts,
but it has its refinements. In Val
DEE there lived man named Jake
who kept boarding house for dogs.
When the prospectors returned from
their sled trips they would place their
teams in his charge until ready to
start out again. AS he fed his guests
on garbage gathered by a house-to-
house canvass he was known by ev-
cry one as "Slop Jake.
Once upon a time he fell i'll and
the newspaper wished to chronicle
the fact. No one, however, knew
"Jake's" other name. and 1t didn't
seem worth while to waste the time
of the editorial stan on so insignia
cant detail. So the news went
printed thus:

Mule Had a Good Memory.


was at Tampa when negro
teamster was instantly killed by an
army mule, and 1t furnished good
illustration of the wonderful memory
that mule has.
The negro teamster used to
pound that mule unmercifully In
stead OF using strategy and coaxing
his mule into submission. he used
to beat it hard enough to kill a
horse. Well, for two months the
teamster didn't drive that mule. But
the mule never forgot him. He
never made any attempt to injure
his new driver, who knew enough
to treat him decently.. But one day
the old teamster came back. The
mule remembered him. He waited
with as mucn docility and patience
as an OK until he was harnessed, and
then, when the old teamster was on
his guard. he let fly with both heels,
caught that negro in the pit of the
stomach, and stretched him out as
dead as hammer. The other team
ster was standing right there by him.
but that mule didn't make any at
tempt to kick him. He had just
been laying for the fellow who wal
loped him two months before, and
when he had finished him he was
satisfied. Buffalo Horse World.
