The severe electrical storm Thursday
morning played some pranks about
town. The Light Co. reported 40 calls
for replacing fuses on the day current
alone. At ' the Stein hospital a fuse
was blown out and the patients were
much alarmed at being left in the dark
ness for a time. At the home of Mrs.
Branick the meter was torn all TO pieces
and considerable plaster was torn off
the walls. Geo. Maruska's house,
formerly owned by D. S. Alley, was
struck by lightning but not much dam
age was done.
Sneak thieves were at work Wednes-
day night out at the brick plant. W. S.
Russell had a buggy harness stolen,
and a heavy work harness was taken
from the company's barn. It is thought
these may be the same thieves who
stole a harness at Schielers, on the
South Side. about two weeks ago and
two buggy wheels from George Waeeo-
ner. Now if the thieves can only ac-
cumulate two more wheels somewhere
and an old second hand horse, it is to
be hoped that they will. betake them
selves hence.
