ken All Over Town; Was
General Over Iowa.

A violent electrical display witt
copious rain and a stiff gale struck
Ottumwa and this vicinity last even
ing about 6 o'clock and for time
ragged with a vigor to say the least
unusual for Ottumwa this summer
Although the measurement Of the rain
taken OF the local weather station
shows but 81 of an inch rainfall, the
wind was such that it is probable the
measurement is not correct, as more
rain is thought to have fallen. Light
ming played pranks that were costly
and the destruction of barns and out
buildings marked the passing of the
storm. For a time the streets ran
rivers and to anyone who happened to
be exposed to the storm shortly after
o'clock a drenching was admins
tered. The storm was ct its worst
when many of the factory and store
employees were on their way home
and the street cars we're heavily
laden with drenched persons seeking
their homes. Preceding the storm OF
the early evening the wind carried
clouds Of binding dust that had not
been allayed by the small shower that
fell during the earlier afternoon.
One of the results of the storm was
the damage done to the telephone and
telegraph service in this section. The
railroads and other telegraph service
suffered considerably, and all of the
annoyance was not remedied until late
this morning The Associated Press
leased wire Of the Courier was out Of
until noon and the West
ern Union and Postal telegraph COM
panies had to reach Chicago via
Omaha and Des Moines. The toll serv-
Ice Of the telephone companies were
similar sufferers. The Burlington road
suffered In their wires running east
and the Rock Island had trouble in
each direction until 8 O'Clock this
morning, The Milwaukee was not as
badly annoyed as the other roads, but
all felt the effects Of the storm. Wash
outs took place on the Hannibal d.
vision of the Burlington and trains
were detoured via Galesburg, Ill.
Lightning Destructive.
The play Of lightning when the
storm assumed It's worst aspect, was
severe and emblazoned the heavens
with pyrotechnic display that was
accompanied by heavy artillery Of
thunder. During this electric storm
the lightning struck the barn Of Bert
Harsh, residing on Chester avenue,
about 6:15 O'Clock, and Immediately
fire enveloped the structure. Al
though the fire department responded
and the chemical wagon arrived in
time to save some of the out buildings,
the barn and chicken house were
destroyed and some three tons of hay
that was stored in the barn was also
consumed. The fire was visible to a
large section of the city and burned
quite fiercely. In returning from the
fire, the chemical wagon when making
a turn to the right side Of Chester
avenue near. the terminus of the
street car line, became mired In a
ditch that formed along the street
where the water mains were recently
laid. The wheels OF the truck went

 Copies made by expert accountants of parts of these records are in the bands of the United States district at- torney, however, and It was understood the investigation would proceed with this material and with the exception of
 witnesses to the raids upon the offices of the iron workers association here in which John J. McNamara was ar rested and quantities of explosives and exploding apparatus were seized
 The defense excused George w. Mckee, against whom earlier in the day it had presented five witnesses in an unsuccess- ful attempt to show that Mckee was an unfair juror.
 The state excused M. T. McNeely, who, as an officer of the tailors' union, has assisted in strikes, but said he did not approve of them.
 The defense eliminated Georse W. John son. retired foundry superintendent: Dr. G. S. Case, a retired physician: Wal ter N.

Winter, builder and contractor, who had an opinion con- corning the guilt of McNamara. which he said would require much evidence to remove.
