Storm of Last Sunday
Electrocutes a Horse
A man named Nichold, who drives a
dairy wagon, had a narrow escape from
death last Sunday morning. As it was,
liis horse was instantly killed and he
was rendered almost unconscious.
Nichold was driving down Colorado
street and had reached the corner of
Second avenue when his horse struck
a live electric wire which had been
broken and was lying on tlie ground.
At the corner of the two streets there
was a large pool of water and the wire
was lying in the same. The horse
same along and while he did not step
on the wire, the water was so heavily
charged that death resulted. Nichold
was in the wagon and when he saw the
horse falling, jumped, and succeeded in
landing on the opposite side. He was
heavily shocked with the electricity.

If not, call at this office, and we will tell

pard was standing about twenty feet
away at the time of the accident and
he says that he received several volts
of the electricity. His legs became
numb and it was some time before be
w'as able to navigate properly.
The storm created havoc throughout
the city. In many parts the wires were
down and it was necessary to keep men
at work all day repairing the same.
Telephone wires in many places were
dow’ii, and the streets were a mass of
mud and w’ater.
It is a dangerous thing to come in
contact with an electric wire and people
should be very careful about coming
close to one. In many cases, such as
happened last Sunday, the wire w r as not
visible, being buried in the water.
Nichold was thankful that he escaped
with his own life.
Was Out Campaigning.
W. A. Ilaggott, nominee for lieuten
ant governor on tlie Republican tick

in the interests of bis campaign. The
same evening he w’ent to Julesburg,

a big rally which was held in that
town. He reports that there is much
enthusiasm manifested in that section
of tlie state, and that the vote on elec
tion day will demonstrate that a great
majority of the voters are in favor of
the present national administration.

ing to make believe that he had a bad
cold. “If I only could get a good cold,
one that would not bother me, then
I could start for home and lay the
blame on my better half. Perhaps,
then, the next time she would allow a
couple of dollars extra money. I will

Many Improvements.
The new sidewalk on Miner street
from Seventeenth avenue to the bridge
was completed this week. This is a
great improvement over the old board
walk that was formerly there. The
wam is laid with large flagging which
was secured from the Arkins quarries.
The improvements on the streets
throughout the city are being made
in a careful manner and many of the
holes on the principal streets are being
filled. Marshal O’Rourke is to be con
gratulated on the success with which
he is meeting in collecting the poll
taxes, as all of this money is used in
keeping the streets in a first-class con
dition.
A Certain Cure for Dysentery and Diarrhoea
“ Some years ago I was one of a party
that intended making a long bicycle trip,”
says F. L. Taylor of New Albany, Brad
ford county, Pa. “ I was taken suddenly
with diarrhoea, and was about to give up
the trip, when Editor Ward of the Lacey
ville Messenger suggested that I take a
dose of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle
and took two doses, one before starting
and one on the route. I made the trip
successfully and never felt any ill effect.
Again last summer I was almost com
pletely run down with an attack of dys
entery. I bought a bottle of this same
remedy and this time one dose cured me.”
