ELECTRIC STORM
LASTS HALF HOUR,
STALLS 500 CARS
Freakish Lightning Plays Havoc
with Urban and Inter-
urban Lines
ESTIMATE DAMAGE AT $4,000
Severe Electrical Disturbance Is
Seventh Experienced
in 33 Years
ESTIMATE DAMAGE AT $4,000

An electrical storm, one of seven
that have occurred in Los Angeles in
thirty-three years, played havoc with
urban and interurban electric lines
yesterday afternoon. Six hundred
cars were stalled for periods ranging
from thirty minutes to ten hours.
Trouble began with the first flash OF
lightning at 2:10 p. m. The storm was
brief, but the electrical disturbance
was as severe as it was unusual.
Generators in power stations along
all the lines were damaged by the
storm, and as a result of short cir
cutting many cars were also damaged.
A substation of the Pacific Electric
company at Long Beach caught fire
from sputtering wires. but before the
blaze gained headway an electrician
shut off the current
To add to the confusion caused py
the stalling of the cars, all telephone
wires along the rights of way were
also put out Of commission, and these
had to be repaired first, in order that
the car crews could receive instructions
from their respective dispatchers.
AS soon as the lines were placed in
order dispatchers in the various Of
fees commenced to straighten out the
running schedule. The Los Angeles
Pacific cars were running within
thirty minutes after the freakish
storm, but many hours passed before
the other lines were running on sched-
ule time.
The officials of all the railway COM
panies worked overtime to bring
stalled passengers into Los Angeles
from surrounding cities. All damaged
cars were sent to the barns, while
new schedules were made out and all
conductors notified of their routes and
running time. Officials of the COM
panies were unable to estimate. the
damage done their respective lines,
but it is believed that the loss will
total 10000.
At an early hour this morning
worlxmen were Fastening the work of
repairing the Pacific Electric COM
panys substation at Laguna, this be-
ing the station from which power is
derived to operate the cars to Whit
tier. The apparatus in this station
was considerably damaged. and tenn
porary repairs are being made.
The lightning was followed by heavy
peals of thunder. Less than .01 of an
inch of rain fell in the city. A thunder
storm in Los Angeles during August
is a rare spectacle. During the last
thirty-three years there have been
only seven thunder storms during the
month of August Weather reports
show them to have occurred during
1883, 1894, 1897, three in 1904 and one
in 1906. However, rainfall in August
has not been uncommon. The August
rainfall follows: In 1886 there was .01
of an inch on August 80; in 1889, .0S
on August 20; on August 81, 1889, there
was .2S; on August 10, 1890, there was
.O3 on August 8, 1892, on August %,
1894, and on August 3, 1889, .01 of an
inch fell, respectively There was .09
of an inch August 5. 1901; on August
13 and %. 1904, .13 and .04, respectively;
on August 20, 1906, .0S fell. August 8,
1908, there was .0S.
The rainfall of yesterdays storm was
heavier in the southwestern section Of
the city.

COL. WELLS CASE
PUZZLES FRIEND
Train Acquaintance Seeks to Es-
tabIiSh Identity of Mys-
teriouS Old Man

Detectives of Indianapolis are trying
to unravel the mystery concerning the
Identity of an aged man known as COL
H w. Wells, who a short time before
his death in that city two weeks ago
stated that he lived at the Hotel
Wickersham," in Los Angeles, and
that he owned a home near Pasadena
So far the officers have made no
progress and the mystery concerning
the identity Of the prosperous appear
ing old man is deepening.
The first information concerning the
case was received in Los Angeles
several days ago, when George A.
Wake a railway mail clerk, received
letter from Otis l. Rogers, pro-
prietor of the Railway Mail monthly
publication devoted to the interests of
railroad mail clerks and published at
Sedalia, Mo-, asking that an effort be
made to trace Wells.
In his letter Rogers stated that
while riding on a train in Missouri
he met an agreeable old man who gave
his name as Col. H. w. Wells. Rogers
said that he and the old man became
firm friends, and when they separated
at Sedalia the stranger presented a
card bearing the name "Col. Henry w.
Wells, Hotel Wickersham, Los An
geles."
Rogers goes on to say that later he
received a letter from Colonel Wells,
dated indianapolis, and of a friendly
nature. Rogers was much impressed
with the personality of the old man
and they exchanged several letters.
On August Rogers received a
letter from an undertaking. firm at
Indianapolis to the effect that the body
of Col. II. w. Wells was in its care.
Rogers, feeling deep interest in the
genial old man, went to indianapolis
and identified the body as that of his
train acquaintance.
An examination was made of the
belongings of the old man, but moth
ing was found to establish the dead
mans identity.
Rogers became Interested in the
case and sent a telegram to the Hotel
Wickersham," at Los Angeles. He
learned that there is no such place in
this city, and later mailed a letter to
the Hotel Lankershim, asking for in
formation concerning the mysterious
Colonel Wells" The hotel manage
ment was unable to find any record of
such guest and telegraphed Rogers to
that effect.
Rogers still is making vigorous in
vestigation and has asked Wake to
assist in getting the past history of
the dead man.
An investigation was made at Pasa-
dena, but nothing could be learned
concerning the Identity of Colonel
Wells.
1t is probable that the local police
will be asked to investigate the matter.

the fate of Forest Ranger II. Il. KOttkey
and 200 men who have not been heard from
since Friday night, when they were fighting
the flames In the country between Wallace
and the st. Joe river.
KOtlxey, q graduate of the Yale forestry
school, is one of the most valued men In the
forest service, and Supervisor w. Il. Weig 10

The missing men were in section where
the flames have since burned most fercely.
Searching parties have started in several d.
rections for Avery, Idaho.
Ranger Van Dyke on Independence creek,
and Ranger Derrick at Saltese, Mont, both
reported tonight. 1t had been feared that
Van Dykes crew of 175 men had been cut
off.
Latest reports from Montana concerning
the 600 missing rangers In that state are
more hopeful
THIRTY-EIGHT KNOWN TO BE DEAD
A revised count of the known dead in and
near Wallace give 3s bodies, only II of which
have been identified. In most cases the
bodies recovered are SO charred as to be be-
yond recognition. The report of so dead
bodies being found at Independence creek,
south of Murray, is entirely false.
Wardner and Burke, Idaho, both mining
towns in the Coeur d'Alenes. which were
menaced today by forest fires causing sus-
pension of business while the men went out
to fight the flames, are out of danger to-
night. Neither town suffered injury.
Reports tonight from Wallace say that
light rain is falling there. At Cutbank, and
other towns in Montana, heavy rain is fall
ing. The flrehghters now base their chief
hope Of controlling the fire these rains.
Gov Norris of Montana and Gov. Brady of
Idaho have ordered out the national guard
in these two states to fight the fires. The
governors of Washington and Oregon have
ordered the militia of these states to be in
readiness to aid in the battle against the
flames.
The loss caused by the fires up to mid
night Is estimated roughly at $11,O00,000

of them are unharmed. The most SEN

to be circulated, but 1t is impossible to

STEER STAMPEDES; CRAZED
ANIMAL lMPALES DR0vER
Western Ranger Fatally Injuries
StoCkyardS Man

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Two steers
from the western range went on a
rampage yesterday, and before they
were shot down they had gored to
death one man and a horse.
Michael Burns, employed at the Chi
cago Union Stock yards, was engaged
in asserting drove of steers, when
one of the animals broke from the
drove and charged wildly through the
alley dividing the pens.
Burns, who had one blind eye, did
not see the onrushing animal until it
was a few feet from him. The steer
struck him with its horns, carrying
him several feet in the air. Burns
died shortly afterward.
Another steer, after escaping from
a north-side amusement park, plunged
through several fences, chased pedes-
trians, terrified inmates of the Martha
Washington home and killed horse
before it was shot.
