LIGHTNING'S QUEER FREAKS
Knocks Out One Mans Teeth and
Tears Clothing From Body
OF Another.

Flagstaff, Ariz.-An account of a
thrilling experience in an electrical
torn on the summit Of San Francisco
oeak was given by Alonzo Wells and
George Dible when they were brought
o hospital here for treatment.
They had started to climb the peak
Turing a rain which turned into hall
storm, accompanied by much lightning.
The ground seemed to be wreathed in
,olored lights and the rocks appeared
to spout flames. AS they reached q
point so feet from the Sierra clubs
register and monument, there was a
lash of lightning which seemed to en-
velop the whole peak.
Both fell to the ground stunned. It
vas an hour before they revived suf-
iciently to take stock of their injuries.
Two of Dible's teeth had been knock
ed out, his clothing was burned in
places, his shoes had been torn off and
his left leg was marked with a blue
zig-Zag streak. Wells clothing was
partly torn from his body.

FORTY LANGUAGES IN CAMP
Necessity of One Tongue Has Renewed
Efforts to Establish Schools
for immigrants.

Recently an accurate census was
taken concerning the different lam
guages spoken by soldiers training in
Camp Devens, Mass, which showed
that 40 languages were spoken by the
men in that camp. There were 2,269
men whose habitual speech is French;
1854 who speak Italian, and so on
down to the relatively few who speak
Japanese, Serbian, Egyptian, Persian,
Assyrian, Flemish and Arabic. Of spe-
cial interest were the 625 men who
speak German.
This is just one solution to puzzle
like that. There must be one language
which all understand and of necessity
that language is English. The facts
disclosed by this investigation have re-
newed the efforts made to establish
system of schools to teach every iSlmf-
grant the English language.
In the cooperative efforts in which
the whole nation is engaged, such as
war and many other things, one lam
guage is a necessity. Very little atten-
ton has been paid to that in the past,
but the Importance of it is being recOg-
nized among all classes Of thinkers at
the present time.-Omaha World-Her-

FORGERY WITH
ELECTRIC RAYS
Signature to Receipt for $4,000

Treasury-Governor FIees

New York.-The story Of the man

gold alleged to have been given by the
erstwhile Governor Argumedo of Yu

Nicholas and Gus Ladner, two New
York engineers, was forged over al

city, is told in affidavits filed in TIL

Governor Argumedo was forged by Eu

Nicholas, and was done by placing &
slab of glass over strong electric lights
IN which was laid military commits

Forced to Flee.
Nicholas and Ladner were engaged
in engineering work in Yucatan at the
time Governor Argumedo set up an in.
dependent government, after which he
was forced to flee from a Carranzista
army and took most of the Yucatan
treasury with him. The two engineers
followed Argumedo to New York and
In time sued him here for $4,000, al
leging that they aided him in his es-
cape because he had their cash with
him and had agreed to bring it safely
to this city. They said that when they
demanded payment here Argumedo in
sisted that the money was his own.
The state of Yucatan also claimed all
the Argumedo cash, and finally became
chief defendant in the suits.
Nicholas had obtained a judgment
for $4,000 and the state of Yucatan
was appealing, and the Ladner case
was pending trial when, according to
the affidavits in the supreme court,
Mrs. Anita M. Tappan became a figure

to the effect that Nicholas and Ladner
had framed the claim for $4,000 and
had employed forgery to sustain their

Lawyer Brand then went to Mr..
Spencer with this information and got
an agreement signed by which he was
to receive $4,000 If he obtained re-
leases from Nicholas and Ladner OF
their claims.
Lawyer Brand then took the ease to
the district attorney, and Nicholas and
Ladner were indicted on October 6
last. They were arrested on October

at the district attorneys Office, and In
the meantime their apartment was ran

Brand said he then learned that Mrs,

take her to the House of Detention.
On that morning Nicholas and Ladner
