result ST lightning which struck his
bafn. L. v. Kunkel, living eight
miles southeast of Fessenden, lost
ten' head Of horses, the barn, much
farm machinery and feed and hay
and all his harnesses.
The severe electrical storm awoke

see from a window Of his house the
bolt which struck the barn, and
apparently it ignited the structure
from one end to the other for, al
though he hastened to put on few
clothes and go to the barn. it was
q mass of flames by the time he
reached it. He had some fifteen
head Of horses in the barn, but the
fire had gotten such headway that
he could not get in to liberate the
poor animals, many of which had
already died from the lightning.
Seven of the horses broke loose
and came out with parts Of their
managers hanging to their tie straps.
Two Of these were so badly burned
that they had to be shot, while the
eight head remaining in the barn
were destroyed including the we'll
known racing stallion, Wm. Rose,

WARDEN TALC0TT
HAVING BIG TIME

x Bismarck, Aug. 3.-Eight prison
ers escaped from the state peniten-
ttary about II o'clock this morning
and up to date only three have
been captured.
Saturday is clean-up day at the
prison and the east guard had been
withdrawn from the wall to guard
the men while bathing. The ice
house shuts off from view the
guards on the north and south
walls, portions of the east wall,
and the prisoners sent to clean the
ball ground broke thru there with
the aid of crowbars anu chisels.
Indications are that they were
aided from the outside. The weak
est spot in the wall had been pick
ed and the noise of the machinery
Of the twine factory drowned the
noise of the prisoners breaking
thru the wall, which: is five feet
thick at this place.
Among those that escaped was
James Gleoson, who will be re-
membered as killing a man at a
pool hall in Coulee last fall.
