Joseph Tschida last Saturday
Three Piaces
Daring* the heavy thunder-,
storm of the fourth of July night!
lightning struck Joseph Fleck-.
ensteir.'s house and damaged it!
to a considerable extent, but
none ofthe family felt even as
much as  a slight shock'.
Joseph says it seems as if every part of the house had been
struck at the same time. Both
chimneys were damaged, shingles, roofboards and sidings on
opposites of the house were
rip pad and splintered and a-
bout a dozen windowpai.es
were shattered.
The vagaries or near-miracles
oft performed by the discharge
of atmospheric electricity, were
beautifully exemplified in this
instance. The entire lower
crosspiece of an upper window
sash was ripped away, but the
two panes were left intact.
The damage is fully covered
by insurance.
hi.
During the same storm, light-!
ning struck the house of Joseph j
Herwesin   Buckman.    The bedstead in which Mrs. Herwes was
sleeping was splintered and   its ;
occupant was hurled   onto   the,
floor.    Aside   from     a     slight
shock, Mrs. Herwes did not suffer from the experience.
About six o'clock* in the morning of the fourth, lightning
struck a hayrack in Fred Wol
Ices' yard In Lastrup. Albert
Keller, who was about four rods
from the rack did not feel the
shock, but Joseph Blake, about
a quarter of a mile away, who
had just got up and was lacing
his shoes at the open front window, felt it distinctly. Jos.
says, his lingers became so benumbed that it was several
minutes before he couid continue lacing his shoes.

Tbe cause of Mr. Bouck's determination to place his name

in the working of the new primary law, which makes some
decided changes in the method

Up to about the sixth inning, the
score stool 1 to 0 in favor of the
visitors and it did look as if the
winning streak had forsaken our
team, but about the seventh it
happened. Several cloud piercers to deep left by Paul, a line
drive to Kapsner's wheat field
by Leo Wermerskirchen and a
beautiful bunt by J. N. Paust
convinced the boys from the
Foley town, that we had struck
our gate, and they went to pieces. When they came to after
the game they found the score
5 to 1 in favor of Pierz. Niert
Smith of Platte played with our
team and made a very favorable
impression. He handled everything in his part of the field with
confidence and a ball player like
manner. There is no question
but what he is a comer. His
father, who was an enthusiastic
witness of the game, says, the
boy can do very good work in
the pitcher's box.

THE RAINMAKER
The farmers in this vie-* ity
need not worry about a dry
spell coming on between now
and harvest. Herman Paust
claims that he can brinjr forth
good heavy showers at any time
by advertising a bowery dance.
It is twice now that he has gladdened the hearts of the fanners
in that manner. It pays to advertise.
NORTH AGRAM
A crowd of young folks came
down from Brainerd to celebrate
the 4th in Pierz. Among them
were Nick Langer and Lizzie
Hoerner.
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Reimer

Joseph, a popular young man
of good habits, should do well
at this stand. He took a course
at the Mohler Barber college in
Minneapolis last year, and,
though not having worked at
the trade for a few months, he
says he will have his knives
in good condition in a few
days.

Last Sunday the Big Timber
boys come down for a game and
Jesse's curves proved absolutely unsolvable to them. For
nine straight innings not one of
them connected with the ball
for a clean hit, the only score
they made being made on an
error in the second inning.
Leigh had absolute control of
the ball from start to finish and
his pitching was a revalation to
people who had never seen him
work before. If lie can pitch
such ball in every game he is a
sure-enough winner and can travel in any company in this neck
of the woods.
The boys from the vicinity of
the Glass-Lindsey project acknowledged that Leigh was altogether too strong for them,
and that Columbus had a team
that was rather above then-
class. The manager of the visiting team stated before leaving
town that he was goingtomake
an effort among tlie business
men of his town to secure sufficient inducements to capture
Leigh for his team, and Columbus should get busy and see
that this is not done.
