a bolt Of lightning shot from the sky,
disappeared a few feet way In less
than three minutes the blaze had
swept from the southeast corner, or
rear Of the building, through the past
board boxes, stored on the third
floor, to the front. When a sheet OF
flame shot heavenward through the
roof, followed quickly by the confia-
grafton bursting forth from all sides,
it was quite apparent that the fac
tory building, and it's costly machin-
cry, valued at approximately $4,000
alone, were doomed.
All this happened before even the
fire companies had arrived upon the
scene.
The total loss Will amount to about
100000 with $4,000 Insurance. The
building, a three story brick struc-
ture, so feet wide by 100 feet long
was erected twenty-five years ago at
cost Of nearly $4,000 The stock
Of materials and hoSiery-the only
product manufactured by the com
pany-was valued at from between
$4,000 and $4,000.

BOB STALL|NGS
SHOT ON A TRAIN
Prominent Attorney Victim of Shots
Fired at Western Maryland
Train

KEISER, w. Va, June 25.-What
might have been a serious shooting
occurred on Monday when Col A. r.
Stollings Of Parsons, one Of the
most popular young attorneys Of the
state, was shattered with shot and
glass as the train was leaving Ham
bletOn.
Colonel Sailing was sitting on the
right side of the train when suddenly
some one shot at the train or at the
Colonel, smashing the window and
filling the Colonels neck with fine
glass and shot. Colonel Stallings was
not injured much and will be all right
in a few days. l.. O. Davis was in
Hambleton at the time and went 20
work on the case, but found nothing
that would lead to an arrest, but the
guilty person may be found.
The shooting has caused much talk
and it is said that the shooting might
have come tut Of the vigorous fight
that Colonel Stallings brought UP
against the Bonds in their suit to re-
