resulting in an interruption to the street
lighting service Of the city. but the trou-
BILE was soon remedied and service was
resumed early in the evening.
The trouble on the L., A. & W. Street
Railway was mainly on the Winthrop
line and was due to trees having fallen
across the track, which interrupted traf-
fic for about two hours. Another source
of trouble was the loss Of power at the
Fort Halifax station in Winslow.

Boys Death Reported
rOliOWlnS the terrluC storm OF WeOncS-
day afternoon all sorts Of wild rumors
started concerning the damage, fatalities,
etc. Late in the evening the report got
around that boy on Sand Hill had been
killed by the lightning. 1t was rumored
that the lads name was Thibodeau, so
a man from the Journal started out to
verify the report. All the electric lights
were out and the sidewalks were in awful
shape from the storm. trees blocked many
of the alleyways on the hill. and finally,
after the searcher after truth had awak-
ened about a dozen families of Thibo-
deaus he found that Wilfred, the seven
year-old son Of Alfred Thibodeau, had
become paralyzed with fright during the
electrical display and was for some time
unable to speak or move, but that he was
"all right now.
So the man from the paper slowly felt
his way out of the dark maze and wendell
his way to the office, and another false
alarm was set right.
