JOLTEO BY A LIGHTNING BOLT
Door Torn from Its Hinges, and
Young Man Badly Cut
by Broken Glass

A young man named Green, engaged
in teaming between here and Fairview,
was the victim of lightning bolt in
Monday nights storm, and in conse-
quence is under the Doctors care.
The accident occurred at Sand springs,
and Green, in company with three
others, had taken refuge in house
from the storm. They were sitting
and talking, listening to the downpour
outside, when, without moments
warning, bolt of lightning struck the
ground near the house with an explo-
sion like hundred batteries firing at
once.
The concussion was so great that the
gass-paneled front door was torn
forcibly from its hinges and hurled
into the room. 1t struck Green, who
was nearest the doorway, with such
force that his head was plunged through
one of the glass panels.
He was badly cut by the glass, and
DR.. Gardner was summoned to attend
his injuries, His wounds were dressed,
and yesterday he was brought to town
in order that he might have proper
medical care.
Green and his companions regard
their escape as providential. Had the
lightning bolt struck few feet nearer
probably not one of them would have
escaped

INDIAN REPORTS RICH
GOLD STRIKE AT PIOCHE

A mild gold excitement was created
in Phoebe last week by an Indian who
reported the presence of a rich gold
ledge at point somewhere near Coyote
springs and about forty miles from
this point.
1t appears that the Indian had ex-
hibited some extremely rich specimens
while in Phoebe several days ago and
told a story, which, if true, may mean
the opening of another fourishing
camp in this county. Anyway, several
Piocheites slipped quietly out of town
and made their way to the new El
Dorado, and it is expected that within
the next few days some of the number
who have gone hence will return, and
then the truth or falsity of the Indian s
statement will have become known.
If they should return:with such sensa-
tionally rich rock as the Indian dis
played, it is certain that stampede
will follow.
Men who have been in the country
around Coyote declare that the region
is promising one, and some of them
express the confidence that it will pro-
duce its sensations. 1t is claimed that
the Indians have known of the existence
of the gold lodges for years, but that
they have kept the knowledge to them
selves until this time. 1t is also said
that two French miners found the
ledge from which the gold is said to
have come, but that was several years
ago, and they were killed by the Indian
Happy jack" who has since died.

OPTION ON PROPERTY EXPIRES
And So a New Deal Must be
Figured Out for Widen
ing First Street

The city council meets on Thursday
evening, pursuant to adjournment last
week, and there is considerable specu-
lation as to what will be done in the
matter of ordering an election for the
widening of First street in consonauce
with the plan of purchase of certain
property, as heretofore outlined.
1t appears, however. that by the
terms of the option granted the city
by the owners of the property A. r.
Jeffrey, Mark l.. Wildes and Jeffrey &
Vannoy-it has expired. In this option
it was explicitly stated that the option
held good on the condition that there
was no opposition or protest to the
purchase on the part of the citizens.
The petition for an election, however,
may be regarded as protest; anyway,
the owners are said to SO regard it, and
they have declared the deal off, it is
understood.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
1t Is only natural that there should be
some curiousity on the part Of the good
folk of Falon as to what the next step
in the matter shall be. The opinion is
general that there can be no question of
abandoning the widening of the street.
1t is up to the council, however, and
at this neAt meeting an election may
be ordered anyway, that consensus of
local opinion Oh the subject may be OBJ
tanned.

And the Dog Came Back

The other day one of our good citi-

ness made up his mind to make way
with canine whose existence had be-
come a burden. The pistol route was
the one chosen for the dogs extermi-
nation, and holding the dog firmly with
oae hand he pressed the pistol to the
animals head with the other and pulled
the trigger. Then be turned the still
and hfeless corpse to a boy to bury
outside the town limits. The next
morning, when he came down to his
Office, the first one to meet him was the
dog which he had slaughtered the day
before. He wagged his tail gayly as
of yore. and evidently bore no resent
ment for the incident. But, as a revol-
yer shot, the stock of the real estate
man has gone down below par.
