An occasion which was most

and will long be cherised in
their memory was the Annual

Sunday last by former and
present residents of Washing
ton. The mixing and mingling
of old friends, many of whom

other for many years, afforded
unbounded joy. Happiness ra-

convinces one that life is really
worth while.

COLORFUL DISPLAY
OF NATURES MIGHT

A wierd scene of beauty, awe
inspiring and palpitatingly ex-
citing was exhibited Monday
night when it appeared as if
some powerful pyrotechnist
had set aflame the whole of
the heavens with one grand
and mighty stroke.
The unusualness of the after
noon, when the whirling and
swirling banks of dismal
clouds attracted the visual at
tention of those outside and
presaged imminent and i'm
pending peril.
Just after the fall of night
when the sun had gone beyond
the western horizon, leaving
its accumulated and sultry heat
in the moist laden clouds, they
assumed tremendous proper
MS and fantastic shapes and
began a riotous warfare, and
attacked each other with a
vicious onslaught resulting in
picturesque electrical display
not often seen.
The livid, platinum bolts,
golden rods and silver darts
shot here and there-every-
where-with fierce and meal
culable speed, ripping the eth
eral illimitable dome from ho-
rizon to horizon.
For four hours the light
ming King reigned supreme and
Boreas blew a steady accom-
paniment to the fanciful dan
ces as the skies wept copiously
from sheer fright until exhaus-
tion lulled them to sleep.

HOME
IS IN RUINS
Lightning Sets Residence On
Fire-OccHpUHts Forced TO
Flee For LiUeS.

AS the fury of Monday
nights storm abated, about 9:1i
o'clock, a fire alarm was sound
ed and investigation disclosed
the w. V. Frazier home, just
outside the city limits and near
the Missouri-Pacific tracks, a
mass of ruins, having been
struck by lightning during the
storm and set on fire. Occu-
cupants of the house barely had
time to vacate the burning
building and had to flee only
partially clad. Practically all
contents of the building were
destroyed and no insurance was
carried. The loss aggregates
several thousand dollars.
Mr.. Frazier, his neice, Miss
Letha, and a little neighbor
girl were the only occupants of
the home and all had retired
and gone to sleep. They were
awakened by loud clap of
thunder but did not think of
the house being struck, as there
was a hallway between where
the lightning hit the house and
the occupants. Sometime later
Miss Frazier detected the roar
of fire and on investigating
found that all the south side
of the building was a mass of
flames and the fire was eating
its way throughg the ceiling
ed Mr.. Frazier, after rushing
the little girl to safety, and
they weTe fUrUSd To Ace in their
night clothing. Miss Frazier
attempted to telephone in an
alarm, but she could not a.
wait a reply, as the flames
singed her hair and slightly
blistered her face and hands.
She removed a trunk as she re-
treated and this was the only
thing saved from the house.
Mr.. Frazier had $4,000 in cur
rency in his trouser pockets,
but could not reach the trous-
ers and had to leave them be
hind. A quantity of meat, lard
and other groceries were re
moved from a nearby smoke
house. This building, however,
did not burn.
AS everybody was shut in
doors during the storm, few
heard the alarm given down
town. Several attempted to
reach the scene in automobiles,
but succeeded in getting only
to the railway station, part of
the road being submerged in
water. The cars were left at
the station and the occupants
walked the remaining distance.
When they reached the scene,
however, the building was re-
duced to ashes.
