The sweltering citizens of Rock Is
land were given some relief from the
oppressive heat last evening when one
of the severest electrical storms of the
summer swept the tri-cities and vicin-
ity. No serious damage was caused
in Rock Island by the storm though
the public utilities were handicapped
for 10 minutes when a lightning bolt
struck a transmission wire, cutting
off the power to the Rock Island sub
station. During this period the lights
were shut off and street car service
was at a standstill. During the height
of the storm the telephone service
was handicapped. as the operators
feared to work at the switchboard
The brunt of the storm fell on the
Iowa side. In Davenport the street
cars were halted 80 minutes when the
trolley on Second street was blown
down in two places. The elevator at
the Kimball hotel was put out of com
mission for u hours by a lightning
bolt Cars on the l. & l. interurban
were halted for three hours, when two
large trees were demolished by a
lightning bolt and thrown across the
tracks. A large barn on a farm near
LeCIaire was struck by lightning and
destroyed in a fire which followed,
causing a loss of 500.
The storm approached from the
north about o'clock. Rain fell here
an hour later, then the storm subsid-
ed temporarily. However. at $50 the
storm clouds were blown back over
the tri-cities by an east wind. The
/ electrical play was continuous. The
local weather bureau recorded a rain
fall of 81. The maximum velocity of
the wind was % miles an hour and
the extreme velocity reached 50 miles
