During the storm Sunday morn
ing lightning struck the dwelling of
Lyman Chinook, in the Sd ward.
The bolt first struck tree near the
house and seemed to follow its
roots under the sitting room and up
through the floor under book case,
which with other furniture in the
room was damaged more or less,
and passed out on the electric wires
to an arc lamp near by which was
felled to the ground. A tree near
the Prairie Mills was also shattered
by bolt during the storm.
Earnest endeavor and a hea rtfelt
interest in ones work is always re-
warded in some way, whether it be
by word or deed. Thus we find the
excellent work and personal infu-
ence of Mr.. w. L. Hodge, Principal
of the Chestnut school acknowl-
edged by the members of the Eighth
Grade, and as a token of their re-
spect and good wishes, he was pre-
sented with pair of gold cuff links
and a gold signet ring. These me-
mentoes of his work in Chippewa
Falls will always bring back to him
the thought of the appreciation OF
those with whom he worked so con-
scientiously and earnestly.-Chippe-
wa Falls Herald.
