Lightning struck the Whipple
-four mill Tuesday at Lund and the
space of a short time at the same
place hit a hay derrick of Nose
Harrison, both of which are in town.
The mill was on fire for a Few
minutes, but several men cormed a
bucket brigade and otherwise ex-
erted themselves in timely fashion,
quenching the flames before great
damage was done.
The way it struck the mill was
most peculiar, the bolt entering at
a window without hitting the frame
or roof of the building as it descend
ed. Inside it a attracted to a
steel rod, following it for its length.
Then it split into eight different and
smaller bolts, all of which shot up
ward and broke out through the
roof Of the building, tearing q con-
siderable hole at each place. The
sheathing and shingles were split
and torn asunder by each of the
bolts.
Here is where the fire started, all
of the places blazing at once. II
was fortunate that the men were
near, it being close to a number OF
homes and within a few yards of the
Lund store. They rushed for the
roof and soon had the several fires
eXtinguished.

state law to take these instructions

needed by the majority of them.

The most conspicuous and distress
ing feature when such exercises are

there is no real cure save proper in
structions and exercises plus rigid
attention thereafter.
The instructor in physica! educa-
