ilton bridge and several government
employees had q remarkable escape
from death. Fate dealt more kindly
IN this instance, however, no one be-
Ing killed and but two injured.
Government drill boat No. 1903 was
working just below the bridge when
the storm broke, bringing with 1t the
sharpest lightning seen here for some
time. Sixteen charges of dynamite
had been placed by the employees of
the boat who are blasting out the new
channel when the lightning. which
seemed to come from the iron bridge,
caused premature explosion.
The bottom of the drill boat was
torn out and employees struck by fly.

struck on the head and knocked
down. being rendered unconscious for
the moment. John Enwright received
injuries to his leg and the back Of his

A government drill boat is probably
the most substantial kind of river ves-
sci and the great hole torn in the boat
Is witness to the terrific effect of the
explosion under water. On board the
vessel, to be used in blasting, was
stored two hundred pounds OF dyna-
mite and why the explosion which al
most rent the boat in half, did not
cause this to explode is beyond un.
derstanding The failure Of this dyna-
mite to explode saved the lives Of all
of the employees.
The water crept over the parts of
the boat rapidly but the crew reached
shore safely IN row boats.

1o1 Ranch Next Monday.

The performance given by the 101
Ranch Real Wild West Show which
is to be here Monday, August 25 is
not given in a sitting tent to which
many have such horror. In large
open arena the performance is given
and the patrons are provided with
seats under sun and water proof
canopies. Seats that will accommo-
date 10000 people are erected and
from every one of these an unobstruct-
err view of the performance can be had
at ell times There are no rings
thrown up but the performance is CIV
en- in one huge arena where the horses
have the opportunity to show natur-
al gait and speed that can never be
seen in the banked rings. Horses
that exhibit in rings have been taught
one gait only and it is far from
natural one There are no opportuni-
ties to show either speed or natural
ness. This is all overcome with the
show that is coming here for in the
huge arena there are opportunities for
both and those who know the class OF
riders with this show know that they
are the riders who never lose
chance to get out of their horses all
that are in them. The horses UNI
schooled to any particular gait are
not slow to enter into the same feeling
as the rider and knowing what is ex-
pected Of them and having the space
In which this telling can be gratified
spectators are given some OF the fin
est bursts of speed that have ever
been seen. 1t is the naturainess OF
everything about the performance OF
this show that appeals to the patrons.
There is a complete absence OF the
artificial and the absence of the tinsel
and spangles has tendency to bring
out the LONELINESS of the natural the
stronger. Every rider with the 10l
Ranch Wild West show is natural
rider and not those who have been
taught to ride. They rode from in
fancy because they were compelled to
ride in order to get from one part OF
the country to another. Riding to
them is no accomplishment for 1t has
always been necessity 1t might be
truthfully said that they were born
in the saddle and should you ask
there is not one of them who would
he able to tell you when he or she did
not ride.
