worth probably- not less than $1,000 were lost, and the telephone company lost In the neighborhood of $700 on material that was in the i lJUimcd en Telephone Wires. The cause of the is in a. man ner a mystery. A theory has been advanced that it was caused by light ning striking a telephone wire and running into the bank' building. The telephone exchange had been in the upper of the building but had within a short time since moved out The moving, however, was not completed, a number of dead" telephone wires still running into the building.

s- The reasonable presumption is that bolt of lightning struck one of the wires and from that fire was commun icated to the building.
