Spokane, Wash, Aug. 12.-Blazing

burning forests on the mountain sides
were falling in Wallace, Idaho, today.

become stronger, it is believed that
nothing can save the town. Mullan,

LUNAR RAINBOW
PRECEDES STORM
Then Sky Was Lit Up By
Great Flashes of
Electricity
LIGHTNING ROD SAVES CHAPEL
DR.. David Knapp and Others
Stunned as Mighty Bolt
Descended.

Santa Fe was visited by one of the
seyerest electric storms felt here in
years and as a result several persons
are complaining Of shock, supposedly
due to the lightning
1t is thought that only the light
ming rod on the Chapel Of Our Lady of
Loretto prevented that beautiful edi-
fee from being struck by lightning
which Shot an immense flash through
the stained glass windows at the very
moment the Rev. Father Louogan was
giving an instruction to the Sisters in
retreat. The priest stopped his dis
course for a few seconds until his
audience recovered from their sur
Iprise. The chapel however, was un-
damaged and it is believed that the
force of the lightning spent itself in
! the ground on lightning rod
Just as that flash came Dr.. David
Knapp, past exalted ruler of the Elks
! and a well known physician here,
was standing near the court house on
Palace avenue and he felt a violent
wrenching of mis- body as though he
had been struck. He swayed and for
an instant thought he would fall but
mara aged to regain his equilibrium.
Other Santa Feans told the same
story. Several were near the Cathe-
aral and others were walking near
/ the plaza
Santa Fe was actually in the vor.
tex Of half a dozen storms from 7:30
Z, m until midnight, with slight in
termiSsiOns. The storms came from
the south. and southwest, the north
and the northwest and in the vivid
flashes of lightning those who were
outdoors could see little canals in
front of them and behind them.
The rain was the signal for a rush
ing business on the part of the livery
men and scores of hacks carried the
ater goers to the concert that was
given at the Elks theater. Automo-
/ biles skidded in the mud and there
We're several narrow escapes from ac-
cidents due to near-collisions with
, telephone poles.
Lunar Rainbow.
One of the most beautiful sights
however was witnessed by many peo-
pie at about 9 p. N. when the storm
had subsided a bit and a lunar rain
! bow took the south half of the sky
for its setting. A grand, silvery arch
could easily be seen, lacking of course
in the many tints of the rainbows
due to the suns rays but nevertheless
beautiful. Those who did not see this
phenomenon today scoffed at the
story but there are many who are
ready to verify it. A lunar rainbow
was seen some weeks ago and sky
gazers on East Palace avenue say
these are the only two appearance of
, his rainbowship after dark this year,
at least in this region.
Puts Out Lights.
! The storm played havoc with the
electric lights and in many houses, it
is said, people had to get out lamps
and candles. Judge A. L. Morrison
who resides on Palace avenue stated
that five electric bulbs were extin-
guished at his home At the Palace
hotel the lightning played pranks
around the telephone and iron safe
in the Office and worried some of the
travelling men who are not used to
electrical storms.
