to be. a emb of the Omaha bar and still
claims Omaha as his legal residence.

Lightning strike. Humboldt t

HUMBOLDT, Jan. 30.-(Special. )-During
the storm here lightning struck the Cen
trail hotel twice in succession, damaging
the roof and wood work on the interior,
but, fortunately, not setting fire to the
structure. The inmates were stunned by
the shock, but no one was injured. Grant
Parsons, a farmer northeast of the city,
was knocked down and. badly stunned by
a bolt which struck the barn on the Hum
mel farm, which he occupies. His injuries
were not of a serious character. The wind
wrecked the high tower in which the fire
bell and automatic alarm apparatus were
stationed, the structure falling over on the
city hall and breaking in half. The flag
staff in the center of the city park was
broken off about half way up. Perhaps
the most serious damage was visited on
the electric light company, as the wind
shattered about half of their street lights
and broke down many of the wires in va
rious parts of the city. The telephone sys-
tenn also suffered considerable damage to
wires and phones, several of which were

FARMERS TALK OF DRAINAGE
Meeting at Fremont May Result in
Strengthening EIkhOrn. +


FREMONT. Neb., Jan. @.-Over 300
farmers and property owners attended the
mass meeting held in this city yesterday
afternoon in the interest of the proposed
Elkhorn drainage project. The plans were
considerably changed and now provide for
two instead of one district, one to include
Dodge and Washington counties and the
other Douglas and Sarpy.
The petition for the formation Of the
first district was circulated and generally
signed. 1t is proposed to straighten the
Elkhorn from the north line of Nickerson
township to the Douglas county line. 1t is
believed that it will not be necessary to
excavate the entire channel but that a mar
row deep channel between the bends will
do the rest. 1t is proposed to straighten
the Rawhide from some point north OF
town to the county line on the same plan
and to put in some smaller east and west
bitches along the public roads.
