cient working capital Only about
$4,000 worth of stock was subscrih-

accounts and found itself almost from
the start in an insolvent condition, The
mortgage on the building was fore
closed some months ago and the store
has been in the hands OF the creditors
since the middle Of February this year.
At the present time the stock and
fixtures are valued at around SIG,
600. Good book accounts are held
to the amount OF $500 or $500. The

LIGHTNING BOLT
BROUGHT DEATH

Kensal, n. D. May 25.--The com !
munity was shocked Friday evening to
learn Of the sudden death by light
ming Of w. A. Long, who was em-
ployed on the VIM. Walker farm east
of Kensal Mr.. Long had been drilling
and the horses he had been driving had
extricated themselves from the drill,
supposedly when the bolt struck as
both poles in the drill were broken and
the horses were unhIIrt.
Mr.. Long was discovered by a neigh
Dor who as working in an adjoining
field, and who hastened to the drill
when he noticed the horses wandering
about the field. Mr.. Walker was at
once notified, and tile body taken to
the Walker home and brought to town
the following day, being prepared for
burial in the Berg Undertaking rooms.
That death was caused from light
ming was plainly indicated by the
burns on the body and the manner in
which the clothing was torn.

GIRL REscuEs PUPPY FROM
BLAZING BASEMENT AND
GAMELY FIGHTS FIRE.

jamestown. ". D., May 2S.--Miss
Nora canham proved herself true
heroine when she rescued little
puppy from q basement blazing with
gasoiing vapors, pulled the heavy
trunk Of a visitor from the scene Of
the fire and then turned and fought
the blaze yaliantIy until outside ass
sistance arrived. she stayed gamely
to the end and although her hair, eye

scorched and one hand slightly burned
she will fortunately suffer no perna-,

The fire started about 4:30 p. m.
Thursday, when Miss Canhaln, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. canham, 624
Fourth avenue south, was baking
pastry upon gasoline stove placed
on box in the basement. While she
was upstairs it Is believed one burner
went out; the gasoline continued to
fiow, charging the air with vapors
which became ignited from the other
burner, which was lit. When Miss
Canham started back to the basement
the entire room was blazing. She saw
the cause OF the fire at once, attempted
to extinguish the blaze but could not,
SO dragged the stove off the wooden
box onto the cement floor. She was
then driven from the room by the fire,
but later returned to save little
puppy recently given her younger
sister Louise, and still again returned
to drag out the trunk belonging to
Miss Olive Dunning who had just ar
rived from the south. The plucky
girl crawled into the room with coat
over her head and pulled and dragged
the heavy trunk to an entrance way
where it was safe.
BY this time neighbors saw the
smoke and an alarm was turned in
from the @. A. Lieber residence, next
door north. Mr. Lieber dragged his
garden hose to the basement window
| and, directed by Miss Canhann, whc
was still lighting the blaze, partially
checked the fire.
The Are department was on the
scene shortly after the alarm was
turned in and quickly extinguished the
blaze in the basement but. not until tht

thinking anything serious the matter,
did not follow him. When the dog
saw that his master did not move, he
ran to him, barked beseechingly at
him, and ran back to the hole.
THAT dog is certainly acting pecu-
liarly," said Mr.. Barbour. 81 think
that will see what ails him." So he
picked up his gun and walked to the
spot where Wuzzy stood. His expert
enced ear caught the sound of running
water and he looked anxiously to see
where it came from. He saw the
muskrat hole, and discharged his gun
as signal to his sons in the house.
They hastily appeared, carrying
spades, hoes, and sacks of earth.
The break was quickly mended, so
that it did not do any damage. Thanks
to Wuzzy, no lives or property were
lost. The whole Barbour family
praised the dog for having saved their
lives, but doubtless when he did this
brave act he was thinking of Fuzzy
and their four dear little puppies at
home.
Without this humane act of Helen's,
a larger portion of Louisiana would
probably be under water causing a
great loss of life and property.-C. L..
