EXTINGUISHED LIGHTNING
BLAZE WITH PANS OF MILK

Lightning struck the home of
Mrs. Ed. Watkins, 3 miles east of
Enterprise. during the storm of last
week, firing the tar paper on the
roof and stunning Mrs. Watkins,
the corner of whose bedroom the
bolt entered. Recovering from her
shock and finding the room full of
smoke she happened to remember
that in case of fire from lightning
that milk should always be used to
the blaze. Going down
stairs she got pals of milk and
them on the fire she ex-
the blaze and saved her
home. The only damage resulting
was a small hole burned In the
roof, several studdings splintered
and some plastering torn off.
Mrs. Watkins aged father and a.
ION were the only other persons in
he house at the time.

George Watkins of this city re-
ceived a letter giving the particu-
lars Of the suicide Of Frank Aus
man of Pleasanton, and a former
Abilene man. Dependency over a
business venture was given as the
cause. He leaves wife and daugh-
ter and the body has been taken to
bloomington, Mo-. where burial
was made. James Russell, relative
attended the funeral.
Ausman recently bought a barber
shop at Pleasanton and after he
had taken possession he found that
conditions and the volume OF busi-
mess had been misrepresented. He
brooded over this and one night he
took a double barrel shotgun, which
had been left in the shop, and af-
ter buying two heavily charged
shells he went into a shed back OF
the shop and placing the end OF
the barrel in his mouth, pulled the
trigger and blew the top OF his
head off.

No Corn for Northwest

st. Paul, Nov. 16.-Every single
witness, public and private, testi-
fies to the almost total failure> Of
the corn crop in the northwest. Half
a crop, which would be considerably
lower than the figures Of the gov
ernment, Is the most optimistic es-
while some observers go
30 far as to say that from 80 to S5
per cent Of the Minnesota corn crop
ls unmarketable.
A great deal of the corn will not
be a total loss to the farmer. since
he will siIage 1t and feed it. II he is
