week several head of stock were Kill

of the structure. A bolt of lightning
hit the peak of the barn, ran down g
row of nails on the lee side, ripped
off the timber held by the nails, jump
ed across to one of the, horses and
killed it instantly. The other horses
and the two cows were unframed
though all were huddled together.
There was not vestige of fire in

made an investigation. The q
horse was valued at 500. F. B. Rowe
and Frank Billmeyer, living in the
same neighborhood, both suffered the
loss of a valuable steer each from
bolts.

TO IMPROVE THE CREAMERY
Stockholders Propose to Invest $500
in Repairs on New Building
Meeting on Aug. 26.

The stockholders of the Sank Lake
Cooperative Creamery Association
are planning on either remodeling
their present creamery building in
this city of erecting an entirely new
structure. Sentiment is largely in
favor of the latter action. It is ex-
pected that about $500 will be ex-
pended on the improvement. Decision
as to what will be done will be reach
ed at meeting of stockholders to be
held in the Commercial Club rooms on
the afternoon of Aug. &C., It is con-
coded that betterment of building con-
ditions is mandatory Immediately and
also that cost of needed repairs
would be nearly as great as rebuild
ing. To place the present building in
condition required for the first-class
operation of the plant it would be ne
cessary to install a. new refrigerator,
new floors, new sills and part of the
walls, or practically the replacing of
the present structure

Marker.

The members of the Civic Club be-
lieve they have located granite boul-
der on the Cass farm which will meet
the requirements for serving as a
monument and marker for the old

G. Wedge, entertained about SO lad

HERALD FORCE DEMORALIZED

HERALD FORCE DEMORALIZED
Grove Wills and Horace W. Gluten,
of the Herald force, returned Sunday
morning from couple of days srent
at Red Lake Falls. While away the
young men purchased the Red Lake
Falls Gazette, and will take possession
Sept. Is. The boys are locating in a
county seat town of 1000, and the
Gazette is the only paper. There are
two other papers in the county. 1t is
with genuine regret that the Herald
editor parts company with these ex-
cellent young men, and their retire
ment will shoot the office force to
pieces almost beyond repair, as both
are high grade printers, pressmen and
machine operators. They were taken
over as part of the assets Of the Of
fee when the present proprietor as
sumed charge three years ago. Never
theless, we are glad they are going.
because we. are firmly convinced that
they are stepping into one Of the best
fields in Minnesota. It is
certain that the business men of Red
Lake Falls and the citizens generally
win never have cause to regret tieing
up with Grove and Horace.pfa2i g ri.

NARROW ESCAPE sERoM DEATH
Mrs. Joseph Weiss, Aged 20, Cheats
Fire Trap Set by Lightning
Friday Morning

Mrs. Joseph Weiss, seventy years
of age, had a narrow escape from
death early last Friday morning when
lightning and fire totally destroyed
her home in the village of West I'm
lion. Mrs. Weiss has only faint recol-
lection of how she emerged from the
building. After gaining the street
she collapsed from electrical effects
and shock and for several days was in
precarious condition. Late reports
are that she is improving.
Mrs. Weiss was alone in the home
at the time, Mr.. Weiss being away on
a visit to son on farm nearby. The
lightning bolt struck the house about
two o'clock. Mrs. Weiss was thrown
out of her bed and rendered uncon-
scious. How long she remained in that
condition she cannot state, but cal
culations of others who responded to
the fire call are that it must have
been from five to ten minutes.
Her first recollection is of making
her way on her hands and knees down
the stairway from the second floor of
the home to the street through fire
and smoke.
AS she met the approach of resi-
dents summoned by fire alarm she
collapsed. Several ivid red streaks
on her left arm attested that the
lightning bolt had in manner hurtl-
ed through her body. She was hur-
ried to the home of friends.
Firemen sought to quench the fam-
es but their efforts we're futile.
The building burned to the ground
with all contents. The loss was $1400,
with 5000 insurance. The home will
be rebuilt Immediately.

SOCIALISTS MARCH
IN SOLID PHALANX
Report That Only 1000
Voters in State Have
Yet to Register.

Special to The World
0KLAHOMA CITY. May 6.-Pat
" Nagle, who is assisting in the
campaign of registering for the So
cialists of the state. said today that
not more than one thousand Socialists
had yet to be registered. so thorough
is their organization and so systematic
had the registration been conducted
in that party since the registration
commenced. He predicted that the
registration would be largely in excess
of the vote polled by the Socialists in
1914, which was then fifty thousand.
This means that the registration will
amount to something like sixty thou
sand or siXty-five thousand in the
state. Speaking Of the campaign, Mr..
Nagle said that he would not be sur
prised II the Socialist delegation in
the next legislature would number
more than twenty members.
In the opinion of some of the men,
bers of the Socialist party this Is a
fight between the Democrats and So
cialists and not so much between the
Republicans and Democrats. And the
fight of the Socialists is not on the
rank and file of the Democratic party
