Because the weather looked bad yesterday Joseph Hallorn of Crookston declined to attend the ball' game and instead took a fish- ing excursion on Lake Bemidji with the result that today he is wearing a suit of E.

Young John- son received a full shock of elec- tricity and it was reported that he w.s dead. He recovered later, however, andis now in a fair way to recover. The -boy was engaged in the bill posting busi- ness at Deer River and was plac- ing a large poster upon a build- ing when lightning struck a flag poleon the topof the buildin, followed down the side of the building and struck young John- son’s hands. It went down his body and came out through his shoes; which were badly mutilat- STRUCK BY LIGHTN _ RUT STILL LIVES & : ; | u _| | ed. When the shock struck him, | he fell to the gidewalk apparently dead, and”. he was taken to the home of his ‘uncle. Physicians were summoned, and they worked on the body for several hours unsuccessfully. Later, however, the boy showed signs of life and in a few hours he was able 0 speak to those about him, and in a short timehe could move about. Mr. Smallwood received a telegram Friday announcing that his step son had been struck by lightning, and he naturally thought the boy was dead. He 2, |was agreeably surprised, how- ever, when he arrived at_ Deer River and found the young man alive and well except for a few burns sustained as the result of the shock he received. WERE EASY Akeley Ball Players Met De- feat in Slow Game Played Yesterday. The fifth successive vietory this year for the Bemidji base ball team was won yesterday, when the locals easily defeated the Akeley aggregation by a score of 12 to 5. The game was rather slow owing to the wet weather, and numerous errors were made, making the score had the weather been good. Le- Gore, was absent and “Red” Hazen was given his first chance in the box with the local team. “Red”’ handled himself like an old leaguer, and allowed the visi- tors only six scattering hits, the scores secured by Akeley being made on errors. The Bemidji men did exceptionally good work Akeley man’s curves 12 times. GRAND RAPIDS FOR BEMIDJI| ELECTRIC WIRE 'DEALS DEATH Mrs. John' Costello of Grand Rapids Killed by Electric Shock.
