LIGHT COMPANY
HANGING LAMPS
FIFTEEN NEW POLES IN GROUND
Universal Objection to Arc Light
Has Developed

The electric light company has in
stalled the last o. it's poles for fif-
teen new lights and men are now en-
gagged in hanging the arc lamps.
This will make a total of forty-five
lights, and as soon as the current
is turned on it will make vast
difference in the illumination OF the
streets.
One or Two people on South Elev-
enth avenue objected to having arc
lights placed upon that street and
by the order of the council the new
lamps have not been placed in that
vicinity. AS a matter of fact, the
entire town objected to the arc lights
and was In hopes that a. system of
Tungstens or incandescents could be
arranged to take their place. A
clause to this effect was placed in
the contract, but when the old coun-
ell was considering the change of
system they discovered that this
clause was only effective after fifty
arc lights had been installed.
II the council makes the change
for the people on one street. there Is
no doubt that the balance of the
public will be in with petition for
like favor.

Eaton

A house owned by the Eckhardt
brothers was struck by lightning last
night and the tenant, Mr.. Vance, re-
ceived severe shock. The plate
from which he was eating was
smashed, the siding ripped off the
house, the windows shattered and
the house caught fire. The heavy
downpour of rain extinguished the
blaze.
The house is a small one and
the bolt struck squarely ON the apex
of the roof, ran down the four cor
ners, wrenching off shingles and
tore the siding from the walls. The
plaster crumbled and fell, the elbow
joint OF the stovepipe shot through
the glass of one of the windows and
the house was completely wrecked.
Vance was stunned, but was not
burned or injured.

ever known. The sewers were un-

REPETITION OF DELUGE of
SUNDAY NIGHT
MANY GARDENS RUINED
Nail Sunday Evening Does Much
Damage Between Ault and Fat
on-Monday Rain Floods
Many Easements in
Business District

We were supposed to have sane
Fourth and Fifth of July. but the
fireworks exceeded anything in the
history of Greeley. Those who de-
light in the roar of the cannon and
the flash of the rocket were furnish
ed plenty of entertainment by the
elements in the shape of thunder and
lightning Sunday and Monday night,
The greatest damage was accom-
plished Sunday night, as the storm
was accompanied by terrific hail
which started about three miles west
of Greeley and travelled in circle
northeast. 1t passed between Ault
and Eaton, covering territory about
three miles wide and then turned
south again when it reached Lone
Tree, where the greatest havoc was
wrought.
The beets and the potatoes may
take another start, but everything
in the way OF small grain is total
loss. One farmer best expressed the
damage when he said, 1t looked
as though everything had been chew
ed up and spit out again.
The hailstones were not of the |
usual snowy variety, but were
chunks of ice clear as a crystal and
larger than a hens egg. In the i'm
mediate vicinity OF Greeley there
was no hail but many of the gar
dens were badly washed from the
terrific downpour. No. 3 ditch broke
over in several places. Almost every
cellar in the downtown district is
worked all night to remove the mer-
chandise from easements.
Sunday night the worst damage
resulted in the neighborhood of Thir-
teenth street. Gardens were wash
ed away and every cellar in the vi
cinity was flooded. Lightning struck
a tree near the Thayer home and
the report shook the city like an
earthquake.
Monday it was doubtful if the |
Poudre river would have held the |
water that came down from the hills
into No. 8 ditch. The break from
the night before had not been re-
paired, and it made little difference.
as the water overf1owed the banks
at almost every point. In some
lawns and streets the water stood
three feet deep and ran in the doors
of houses.
The Evans reservoir broke Mon
day evening, and part of the Union
Pacific tracks between here and Ev- |
ans was washed away. The train
which was due In Greeley at $50
last evening did not reach here un-
til o'clock this morning
Although there were no accidents, |
1t was Fourth of July celebration !

DANGEROUS TRIP
 IN BIG AIRSHIP Count Zeppelin Loses Control
 of the Vessel
MOTOR REFUSES TO WORK
Inventor Brings His Vessel Safely to the Ground After Having an Ex- perience That Was Not Rel
 ished at All.

Munich, April 1.-The Zeppelin airship with the count himself on board, was the plavthing of the winds for Il hours today and swept helplessly over the country. She was out of control and drifting, with little hope of being able to make headway against the increasing wind.
 Soldiers in swift automobiles went rae- ing over he country after the vessel in order to be on hand should a descent be attempted and several squadrons ot heavy cavalry were ordered out and are galloping down the roads to the northeast ward for the same purpose.
 The airship left Friederichshafen early this morning and five hours later ap- peared in the air over the outskirts Of Msinich A distance of Ill miles was eoV- / cred in five hours. The count left Fried richshafen with the intention of trying to sail from there to Munich and back He hoped to land here in the presence of the prince regent and the entire gar rison, but owing to a squally and in ereasing wind the maneuver was inn possible The attempt was made over the parade grounds outside the city, but as soon as 1t was seen to be impossible the ship lifted again into the air. The count then tried to return to Munich, but by this time the wind was so strong that he could make no headway against it and 1t was noticed that the airship was being driven sideways down the wind. When the seriousness of the situation was realized the troops were ordered out to follow and be prepared to render any assistance possible
 The count endeavored to overcome the resistance of the wind vy rising to greater altitude but this maneuYer ap- parently was not successful and the bal loon was driven rapidly from sight in northeasterly direction.
 At a quarter past seven, two hours after it's first appearance here, the air ship was over Freysng.
 The airship was manned by Count Zep- pelin. Major Sperling, several officers of the engineer corps and a crew of soldiers from the balloon battalion of the -erman army.
 The departure took place at five min utes past f. from Friedrichshafen. 1t was still dark and the weather was dull. The wind was strong ard contrary The ship passed over Friedrichshafen at an altitude of 1000 feet at moderate speed and turned in the direction of Munich. Ra- vensburg, Auenburg, Erbsch. Biebrach Augusburg, points between Friedrichsafen and Munich were brilliantly lighted with electricity in order to show the aerial navigators the direction. When it was sightly shortly before o'clock approach ing Munich, the church bells of the city rang out in peals of welcome, and cannon fired a salute. As the ship drew nearer the whr of the motors could be heard. The vessel made it's way to a point over the exposition grounds and descended to within 300 feet.
 Thousands of people had gathered on the grounds and the maneuver was greet
