Evidence regarding the conduct of

parties. He declared that the vouch
ers were present for the $4,000 when
Bishop, Brissman & Co. made the re-
port. These vouchers had been re-
ported missing. 81
System Intricate
He said that the system Of account
ing was very intricate and that the
association had had difficulty in get
ting expert accountants for the work.
The reason no contracts have been
made, he said, was that they could
not be entered into until the exact
cost of each house was Nascertained.
The state had only loaned $3,O39.l%
on Mr.. Lemke's house in Fargo, while
the law provided that it could loan
$4,000. =

LIGHTNING HITS
CAR DRIVEN BY
A. |. REIDLING

Encountering terrific rain and
hail storms with their accompani-
ment Of muddy roads, Albuquer-
que motorists have had serious
times getting through the central
part of the state during the past
days of storm, A car is reported
in the Jemez country sunk in mud
to the top, several picnickers were
stranded in the mountains in a
heavy hail storm sunday and, A. J.
Reidling had narrow escape
when his car was probably struck
by lightning on the Santa Fe-Al-
buquerque road.
Mr. Reidling was driving home
alone from Santa Fe on Friday
afternoon, after having given up
a proposed business trip to Las
Vegas on account OF bad roads
when his accident occurred. A
heavy electrical storm was raging
Mr. Reidling remembers only n
binding flash Of lightning and
then finding his car in ditch
along tho roadside when he
recovered consciousness some time
later. One of the rear wheels was
broken, the spokes being scattered
along the road for a distance Of
forty feet which the car moved
before coming to stop.
Mr.. Reidling walked into Do
mingo, where he spent the night. He
returned to his car the next morn
ing and worked several hours in
a pouring rain adjusting a new
wheel When the car was repaired
he found that the engine was wa
ter-soaked and would not run. He
then abandoned the car and came
back to Albuquerque, by train in
the evening.
Hail so heavy and contin-
uous as to blanket completely the
deeper canyons Of the Sandals fell
on Sunday afternoon. Numerous
automobile parties from town
which had driven out during the
sunny hours Of the early afternoon
were stranded In the mud after the
storm. Several automobiles which
had been started for Jemez Springs
for the Weekend were forced to
turn back
