SHOWER DOES
CROPS GOOD

Ogden was visited by heavy
shower last evening. which did un-
told good for the crops in this vicinity
by relieving the dry spell which has
prevailed here for a number OF days.
The rain was accompanied by a
heavy electrical display and several
violent shocks OF lightning occurred
during the evening,
Lightning is believed to have
struck a feed wire near the power
house during the storm. the only ap-
parent damage, however. being the
burning out of one of the coils at the
sub-station which supplies the eleva-
tor service Of the city
The lights were temporarily weak

ture resulted.
