Destructive Lightning.
Barns, Hay and Grain Stacks and an
Elevator all Suffer Damage or
Total Loss.

Last Thursday night lightning
struck the large barn on the
farm of Ben Moser in Alban
township, and set fire to the
building. The bolt aroused Mr..
Moser, and upon going out to
the back yard he discovered that
the barn was on fire. Summon
ing help he was able to get out
all of his horses except one,
which was lying down, and was
apparently stunned by the light
ming, but was unableato save any
thing else in the building, as it
was but few moments before
the whole structure was seeth-
ing mass of flames. There was
about 90 tons Of hay in the barn,
and some 5000 bushels of oats,
harnesses and other farm tools.
The building was a very large
and complete one, with modern
conveniences and Mr. MOser $
loss will amount to over 81 1000
with S1450 insurance in the
Evangelical company, of which
he is president.
Albert Partridge also suffered a
loss in a setting Of four stacks of
flax on his AIban farm, which
was struck, entailing loss Of
some $500 on which there was no
insurance. Ben Vote is report
ed to have lost a stack Of several
tons Of hay from the same cause.
The Farmers elevator in this
city was also struck by lightning
in the Thursday night $ storm,
but happily did not catch fire,
though the upper part of the
building was badly torn and the
electric lights burned out, caus
ing about 5000 damage The
elevator was full Of grain at the
time.
The season has been particu-
larly bad in lightning damages to
barns, the Moser barn being one
of half a dozen that have been de
stroyed from this cause.

A number of the leading Taft
supporters in the state have is

ITO the Republicans of South Dako-
kota:

ing it's defeat by the election Of can
didate of another party to the presl-
dency.
This action violated all precedents
since the foundation Of our govern
ment and betrayed and disfranchised
the republican voters of this state.

pointed at meeting OF republicans
held in Huron, on August II, l9l2, nav
ing exhausted every effort to right
this wrong. and having failed. hereby

Der 10. 1912, at 1 O'Clock p. M, for
the purpose OF taking such action as
