LIGHTNING INTERFERES WITH FLAG DAY O0BSERVANCE Flag day, the birthday of Old Glory, was generally obsérved throughout Bemidji today, there be- ing but one exception. This was at the court house where lightning in one of its many queer feats, struck the flag pole during the storm at 5:30 this morning. The large ball which adorns the top of the great pole was chipped and the flag wire was cut from the pole by the crash. The pole was slashed near the bottom and from this point the lightning appears to have jumped to the Beltrami avenue sidewalk, a small hole being forced in the cement. A hole was also cut in the ground of the boule- vard and the heavy guy wires of the flag pole were made loose.
