Fire Caused from Bolt OF
Lightning
Two Upper Floors of Build
ing Practically Des-
troyed by Fire.

Fire caused from a bolt of
lightning during the electrical
storm of Sunday noon that did
considerable damage to the Dali
ziel House, located on Third
fstreet and LIST avenue west.
The bolt of lightning entered
the roof near the chimney and
occupants Of the room on the
upper floor say that the bolt shot
out in every direction, i'm
mediately followed by flames.
The fire alarm was given with
out delay and the department
arrived on the scene on short
notice but the fire gained such
rapid Roadway that the upper
part of the building was badly
burned and the lower floors were
soaked with water.
Some of the roomers in this
house had some thrilling exper-
| fences. One fellow rooming IN
the room on the upper floor
where the bolt was the most
severe, was stunned by the bolt
but was able to make his way
from the building unaided,
although he lost all of his belong
ings. Arnold Thielke jumped
from the third floor window but
alighted unhurt.
A goodly part Of the furnish
ings of the house were removed
as the fire progressed, but never
theless the loss to many OF the
roomers and to Mrs. Dalziel was
quite heavy.
The Dalziel House has been
run by Mrs. Dalziel for a num-
Der of years and was known
throughout this part of the state
as being a home-like place which
travelling people sought.
The place and furnishings
were insured, but nevertheless
the loss was greatly felt by
Mrs. Dalziel.
