THE DOUBLE FUNERAL This afternoon the double funeral was held from the dwelling where the tragedy occurred, and immense crowds gathered at the house and along the streets to wit- ' ness the closing scene in the shooting . event. Hundreds of friends of the family i were also present to follow the remains to their last resting place. The remains of the deceased enclosed in cloth-covered cas- kets, rested side by side in the dining- ; room. The grief of the bereaved children iwas heartrendering in the extreme. An i impressive service was conducted by Revs. EJ. Slioreyand Rev. D. O. Crossley. The funeral corteqe was a long one, over 100 i carriages following the two hearses which bore the remains to the Little Lake I cemetery where interment took place. SEVERAL PLACES STRUCK ON MONDAY â€"MR. FLACK OF THE SOUTH WARD HAD A CLOSE CALL Some people enjoy everything,r about summer but its thunder storms. Those who have any fears of this phenomenon will not feel reassured by the way Mon- day‘s storm behaved itself. About eleven o’clock there was a preliminary disturb- ance but it was nearly two in the after- “ hen the continuous reverberations from ominous cloud-banks in the west, gave warning of a. serious storm at hand. In a short time it broke and for half an hour there was a. magnificent electrical display accompanied by torrents of rain and terrific crashes of thunder. One of the bolts came through he ceil- ing of )IcSewyn 8: Anderson's law office and scattered the plaster in all directions. The windows of the east ward school were shattered. The woodshed at the rear end of )Ir.‘_ John Ballance‘s house on Queen-$12., east ward, was struck and several boards were ripped off. The house of Mr. Robb. Flack in the south ward near the round house was struck and badly damaged. The chimney which stood on the end of the house was cut 011' close to the roof and on either side the current made its way to the eaves, but the main stroke cleft the end wall. throw. ing the trick outward and crushing the lath and plaster inward. Large sections of plaster were thrown vioientlv against a door clesr across the parlor. A mirror hanging against the chimney upstairs was knocked totally from the frame and shivered into minute particles some of which were thrown an almost incredible distance. At the time of the stroke Mr. fin“...-u.l. . After an examination and enquiry the coroner decided that an inquest was un- necessary and the bodies were taken in charge by the relatives. There is no doubt that the awful deeds were the work of an insane man, and all the later details go to show that the mind was unbalanced through his brooding over his religious views. He was well read, and an inven- tive turn of mind, and had spent much time and money on fads in which no one would become "interested. There is a lack lay asleep on a lounge and his wife was sitting near by. Both were shocked but Mr. Flack received the more violent; current. To our reporter he said: “I was asleep and did not know of the ‘storm. The first sensation I had was of great pressure on my head and I thought it was a. stroke of apoplexy. Gradually I realized that the room was full of smoke and on the scene, and an examination reve the fact that two bullets had struck ill-fated woman. One had entered her cheek, shattering the jawbone and teeth, the bullet being found in the mo The other had entered at the back of neck. Death had been almost ins taneous, was almost choked with the smell of sulphur. My wife was standing in the room crying. Then she told me the house h‘ld been struck by lightmng. I was unable to move. My right side was numb. The neighbors got the doctor and he said 1 would get all right.” Mr. Flack was still feeling the ill etl‘ects when seen, but has since recovered. The storm was very severe west of this town. Two miles west of Oakwood the house of Mr. Nelson Barker was struck and damaged. One chimney was knocked off and the plaster in several rooms badly broken. The inmates escaped injury. Two miles south of Woodville the storm was particularly severe and left ruin in its trail. Barns were unroofed or wrecked and fences were laid low. The barn of Mr}. Heck Grant, near Canninzton, was struck by lightning and badly damaged. A horse was injured and Master Andrew Grant was rendered unconscious: but fortunately not fatally injured. Passing eastward the storm unroofed the barn of Mr. Alex. Brown, and also the barn!of Mr. Sam. Black. The 102 fence along both sides of ground. The barn of Mr Loftua Shier, near Cannington, was struck and set on fire. despite the heavy rains it blazed furiously and was soon bumed to the ground. Two calves, 35 pigs, hav, grain and implements were destroyed. for the rain would have been burned. Splinters were hurled 300 yards.

If the soil to be used is loam or clayey loam, apply a coating 0f manure in Winter or early spring, to be plowed under in April. This manure may be fresh from barn. or old and well rotted, but do not, spread too thick. Two inches is enough, putting on a little every year, rather than too much at \ :ce. If the soil is light and sandy, .you will need to spread manure Just before plow- ing. and probably use fine manure or fertilizer mixed with soil in the hill under the seeds. Hen manure saved dur- ing Winter is excellent for this purpose on any kind of soil. Cucumbers are a. good crop to raise on sod freshlv plowed.

For the central States about May 1 is the time to plant, though if wanted only for small pickles they may be planted as late as June 1. In my ex- perience those planted early produce just as good late pickles am. as many of them as those plzmted later. When ready to plant I take a horse~hoe to mark rows and make place to plant seeds, the mid- dle back teeth making a. mark about one inch deep. These are made in» feet apart and the seeds are dropped in groups four feet apart, ten or 13 seeds in a. place, in a. straight line one inch apart; cover an inch deep. If planted in a straight line you can do much better work with culti- vator than when they are scattered in a. round hill. a. shower.

It is a seedling misod in New Zbuland. and from that fur-off country and distribution. Whatever the conditions under which this variety originated may have been, they have certainly produced a material change in the resulting seed- ling. The most remarkable feature of it is that it bears fruit on one and two- year-old grafts. The tree is Very dwarf and extremely prolific.

By means of a skeleton key he un- locked the door of his cell. and then going upstair to the corridor where his chum was confined he opened the door of the latter‘s cell the two then proceeding to the door leading to the gaol yard. The lock of this door Pare evidently could not pick, as he had pried it open with a piece of bar torn from the steam heating fixtures. Getting into the yard the men piled cord- wood up against the twenty-foot wall and then climbing up let themselves down by means of a rope made of their bed clothes. The time of their escape is unknown. The gaol had no night watchman. It is believed that they were assisted by an outside accomplice. When Ponton was spoken to about the escape he said: “1 have nothing to say for I have been in- structed by my counsel to make no state- ment. I expect my trial will come ofi‘as arranged at the coming assizes." PARE AND HOLDEN BREAK JAIL.
