THUNDERSTORM AND FIRE
One of the severest elecrical storms of many a year took place
here Wednesday evening, putting the lights on the blink for a
while and stopping"the "hello business." Every flash of lightning
made the light wires farely sn? p. Jordan's blind horse got scared
and ran away, upsetting the empty surry front of Spraner's store.
Lightning struck a number of tree3 and set a couple of snags on
fire back of tb.3 Leis place. There w3 a minature cloudburst over
by Bill Welch's place. As the storm was about over, a "cry of
fire !" was heard west of town. ' Alfred Davits and Mr. Erickson
saw smokrt issuing from the flour mill. An alarm was turned in,
and hoea carts 1 and 2 with chemical No. 1 responded and were on
the job in about three minutes. The fire wa3 blazing in the engine
room, where a lot of old grain spouts piled over the electric light
wires caught on fire th chemical engine soon finished the job. 11
the storm had happened in the night later, no doubt the flour mill
would have burnt to the ground at a total loss of $10,000 to Mr.
Muessig a3 there is no insurance.
. The money invested in fire apparatus is bringing good returns.
The firo hydrants, now idle, should be installed along the street

places. The only personal injury reported to this office was, that j
when the storm commenced, a certain fellow crawling under a bed
bumped his head severely.
MAN LOSES FOOT
Thursday evening, F. E. Starbuck, a contractor and builder ct
Mt. Tabor, was riding on the.Wiliminia electric car on the P., L
& E., that arrived here at 4:10 p. m. He had a dog in the passen
ger coach with him, and was told by the trainmen to put the dog
in the baggage car, which he did at this place, but the train start
ed up before ha got on board, t.nd ha tried to jump on, and caught,
his .right foot In the spokes o' the front truck of the rear car,
mangling his foot terribly between he wheel and truck, dragging
him for two carlengths before the tain was stopped. He was i a
pitiful condition and begged someone to kill; as the agony he suf
fered was territle for one hour nrd a half, through the tireless ef
forts of a big crew of expert electrician and car mechanics from tho
shops raising up the trucks with jacks before they could release hia
foot. Doctors Kobmson, Barrett anl uarstens aid an in tneir pow
er to relieve his suffering. Ho was taken to the Good Samaritan
hospital on train No. 102, whero it was found necessary to ampu
tate his right foot below the knoe joint, and there is hope for his
recovery.
BEAVERTON BOY
MAKES GOOD
At the recent Civil Service examination for electrical engineers
for the government, held at Portland, Ore., Archie Burns, former
ly of Beaverton, was one of the applicants. The M. S. S. were for
warded to Washiagton, D. C, and recently Mr. Burns received his
markings. He noticed the word "District" was erased; also that
he was highest. Not fully understanding why "District" should
be erased, he wrote for further information, and has just received
an answer stating : That his grade was not only highest in his dis
trict but highest in the United States for examination, which ia
good news to his many friends and old schoolmates residing in this
vicinity;

DE AVERT ON OREGON
Gus Rossi's bulldog "Old Pick)" mascot for th5 Fire depart
ment, had symptoms of hydrophobia Saturday, so as to on the safe
side. Pete Van De Hey put hii.x out of commission. Owners of
canines, around town, should beware, as there have been many dog
fights lately, and other dogs mry ehow pymplpms of rabies at any
time. In the passing of the old watchdog, it might be interesting
to remark Rigolo Rossi's dog cm "come to town," without being
chased home; but not so, he dossn't know "Old Dick" is gone.
Ha only come3 part way anl loo'ii soaroi. It ii too bad that about
66 more curs, around town, don't get scared and take a sneak. It
would be fine for the city if they all toak a vacation for atcu!
a year.

THIRD ATTEMPT TO ROB
Tigard, Ore. Another unsuccessful attempt was made yester
day to rob the Oregon Electrio depot at this place, this being the
third attempt in the last 12 months all proving unsuccessful, thf
second time blowing the safe into a thousand pieces with a heavy
charge of nitro-glycerine.
The third attempt was mado yesterday afternoon about 4 p.m.,
when the waitingroom etovepokc-r was used to pry open the money
till,, the robber passing the etovepoker through the ticket window
and manipulating the point of the poker, so as to get a purchase or
ths money drawer, which is just behind the ticket window, bend
ing the poker almost double, and badly damaging the mony drawer
in the attempt to break thi combination. j
It is known that the Oregon Electrie agent takes In from $35
to 30 per day, but the fact that ha mtkc3 from three to five re
mittances to Portland daily was no doubt overlooked cr not known,
this hcr-ever rivs the local agent a chance to relieve himself fre
quently through tha of all sura3 la excess of f 10, whieh he car
ries with him whon he is out.
The local agent expects the r.ext rttempt will b made to hold
him up, as three attempts to get noney at depot have proven fruit
less, but he is inclined to take the mittcr coolly as he Spent a num
ber of years in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and demonstrated
to the onlookers that he was not wholly a strangsr to the sixshoot
ers, which be whipped out of his jeans and buried six tack heads
running the full length of th depot distanced, p.vd it ia thought
that he would give Mr. Robber a run for t? e money, should an at
tempt be made to hold him up.
