Remarkable Electrical Display

A REMARKABLE electrical display occurred over the city of Butte, Montana, early on the morning of July 31. The heavens were said to be one continuous sheet of flame without a moment of intermission. Thousands of persons were aroused from their slumbers by the brightness of the strange phenomenon. Nearly every kind of material became heavily charged with electricity, and many persons received shocks by coming in contact with articles thus charged. One man was killed and another rendered unconscious by touching a pile of meat in a freight car.
