raigned in the Third Precinct Police
Court today on a charge of atrocious
assault and battery and held without
bail pending the result of the injuries
of Alphonse Brennan, II years old, of
Sc Waydell street. The latter lies at

Rail attended the show of the Round
up Saturday night, and on Friday
purchased the rife and 100 bullets in
a Market street store.
With his companions ne engaged in
target practise. A piece of cardboard
was placed on a tree and the young
sters fired at it IN rapid style.
While the boys were shooting, Ar
thur, Fred and James Fredhouse,
brothers ranging in age from 10 years
to Is, passed along the tracks of the
Pennsylvania railroad.

They reside at IL Waydell street.
Rail called to them to halt and throw
up their hands. Arthur refused, but his
younger brothers were frightened and
obey ed. Rail fired at Arthur and
missed and while he was recharging the
rifle the three brothers ran away. Rail
then called to his companions to throw
up their hands or he would shoot.
Lynch and Johnson willingly surren-
dered, but Brennan refused. Lynch
saw Rail level the rife at Brennan and
told him he better not shoot. As Raj
was about to pull the trigger Lynch
begged him to shoot at Brennan's feet
If he was going to make a target oil
him. Rail lowered his rife and pulled
the trigger, The bullet hit Brennan
and when he screamed from the pain
Rail and Johnson ran to his side and
carried him to his home.
Rail then t%elephoned to DIR. Herbert
S%atchwell, and, although he made a
prote for the bullet, he was unable tc
locate it. The police believe the bullet
is lodged in one of the bones.

sl5,0O0,0O0 Loss
IN FOREST FIRES
IN TWO STATES
Billions of Board Feet of Lum-
Der Destroyed in Recent
CONGREGATIONS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-Six billion
board feet of lumber, valued at about
SIS, 600, 600, were destroyed in the recent
forest fires upon the national forests in
Montana and Northern Idaho.
The total area burned over in this one
district was put at 1885, 900 acres.
The first rough estimate of the, fire
loss IN the great district was com
pleted today by officials of the govern
ment forest service. 1t shows that the
heaviest losses We're in two Idaho for
ests, the Occur D'Alene, where three
billion board feet of timber were re-
ported killed, or destroyed, and over
$50, 600 acres burned over, and the
Clearwater, where one billion feet were
killed and ae0,0 600 acres burned over
Other heavy losses were Helena Ma
tional Forest. Montana, 500, 900, 600 feet;
Cabinet forest, 400. 900, 900, and Lolo
forest, 800, 900. 900 feet
Losses Run Into Millions.
How much of the six billion feet
which was either killed or burned up
In Montana and Northern Idaho can
eventually be salvaged it is, of course,
impossible to predict. If it were all a
total loss. and if its %stuihpage value
were put at the average price at which
national forest timber was sold last
yea 1t would be the equivalent of a
money loss of about SIS. 900, 600.
1t is believed thai last summers
fires either burned up or killed be-
tween / and . per cen of the total
stand of national forest timber. Al
the present rate of cutting from the
rational forests six billion feet is equal
TO twelve years supply. but it is less
than one-siXth of a single years cut
in the entire country, or enough 10

PROTECT FARM BUILDINGS
FROM LIGHTNING STROKES
Every Effort Should Be Made Against
Life and Property From Destructive
Discharges of Electricity

whatever depth the latter is found. r.
there are no down rain spouts on the
building the ground connection should
be placed In the line of the drip from
the roof, since the latter has a ten
dency to keep the earth moist This
construction has the advantage of an
unbroked run of wire from the
ground to the roof of the building.
When the main conductors run from
the roof of the building to the base
only there is often trouble in making
perfect joint between them and the
materials used for ground wires.
One method is to take a galvanized
water pipe, say an inch and quarter
in diameter, and drive 1t into the
ground at the foot of the main con-
ductors. Secure cap for the top of
the pipe and bore a hole through 1t
so that the conducting wire can be
passed through; then insert the wire
into the Iron pipe, fill the interstices
with powdered charcoal, and place
the cap on the pipe. The hole In the
cap should be large enough to permit
the conducting wire to pass easily
through and at the same time allow
water to pass down the wire into the
interior Of the pipe.
A metallic roof properly connected
to the earth affords reasonably good
protection to the building from light
ming. In suburban districts where
frame buildings with tin roofs prevail
there Is little destruction by lightning;
most Of the buildings have down rain
spouts, which serve to conduct the
discharge to the earth. In the case
of an isolated building with a tin roof
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1910-09-16

care should be taken to see that the
down rain spouts are connected with
the ground. 1t will not do to stop
them within a few inches of the
ground; there should be an unbroken
metallic path from the ridge of the
roof into the ground.
In providing ground wire to con-
meet the lower end of q rain spout
with moist earth, wire cable or
piece Of galvanized pipe may be used.
The vital points of the connection are
two: First, to reach the moist earth,
and, second, to secure perfect metal
lie joint between the down spout and
the earth conductor If wire Is used
it should be flattened out at the end
in the form of a tape and then bo1ted
and soldered to the rain spout This
form of joint is not very durable,
since the tin is apt to oxidize unless 1t
is kept well painted.
In the case of a building with a
metal roof, but no down spouts, it is
desirable, In order to obtain protection
from lightning, to run wire con-
ductor from each of the four corners
of the roof to the earth. II the over
hang of the roof is excessive, hole
should be bored through 1t to let the
wire pass close to the wall of the
building.
All objects on a building higher
than the ridge of the roof should be
protected by short terminal wires. and
the latter should be joined to the main
1aL la1A1 a..
over 10 or Is feet. If the distance is
greater 1t would be better to run a
conductor direct to the ground, the
usual precautions as to reaching per-
manently moist earth being observed.

that number injured by lightning. This
great loss of life falls largely upon
the people who live away from the
great centers of population. &c. too,
the greater part of the annual loss of
property Is chargeable to farm build
ings and their contents and live stock
In the field. Light and power electri-
cal transmission lines also suffer from
the vagaries of lightning, but the
great multiplication of these lines in
recent times has stimulated the de-
velopment of means of protection, so
that nowadays the electric power
plants and lines are better protected
from lightning than are farm build
ings.
The ordinary farm building is not
difficult to protect from lightning
flashes in the great majority of cases.
While absolute protection cannot be
secured unless the building be in
cased in network of wires, it is be-
lieved that building with properly
installed system of lightning conduct
ors will fare better than one without
such system in case discharge of
the most violent type should fall upon
1t.
Whether or not to install lightning
conductors on ones property is
question, after all, of individual judg-
ment. If the property is insured
against loss by lightning there would
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1910-09-16

be little incentive toward mourning
additional expense for lightning con-
ductors. In case of an isolated farm
building standing apart from trees 1t
would seem that the conservative
course would be to erect an inex-
pensive system of lightning conduc-
tors.
Any farmer can construct a COM
paratively inexpensive yet effective
lightning conductor with materials
that can be purchased from the larger
electric supply houses.
The earth connections require great
care in their construction. The es-
sential thing is to reach permanently
moist earth in the shortest distance
from the main conductors. The
ground ends of the vertical wires
should be coile.i In spiral having a
iiameter of about foot These spirals
should be buried in moist earth at
