They of the .ays the beginning watching third trotting race. It came without warning. A terrific report startled the thousands. Half dared by its intensity those who had escaped the shock caught their scattered senses to see maddened horses dashing In all directions through the crowd, while 200 man and women lay prostrate. The bolt came from a broad strip of clear aky between two approaching cloud masses. Its explosion when It struck on a wagon was the first warning of its presence. The ground had been wet by light showers and the electricity scattered over the grass in blue flames that knocked down, stunned and burned victims on all sides. It ripped wagon wheels and seats and shattered the track fence. The crowd had gathered at the new fair grounds. They had come from many surrounding points in honor of Utah Commercial Travelers day. The races were the main thing of Interest and they had crowded close to the track, all along whose circuit they were Vrung. When the bolt struck some thought Others exploded. dynamite had thought it was a giant firecracker. A rush toward the place followed, as soon as people recovered their senses. Horses were running madly, some dragging carriages and others loose. .Women and children shrieked with terror. The area over which the shock was felt extended about 100 yards each .number of wagons and car ay riages in this area were broken by the force of the lightning. Mrs. A. D. Rasmussen was in a surrey with her family of children when the bolt fell. The horse ran away and Mrs, the vehicle was overturned. Rasmussen was badly injured, as was a little girl. The mother's nose was cut off. H. S. Ivie, a horseman, who had Just lined up his sulky for the start, had a strange experience. His dazed for several seconds, animal as was the driver. Both came to about the same time, and the horse bolted at once. Still half dazed, the driver held grimly to the relng and guided the horse around the track. By the time his wits fully came to him he had the brute under control. The new fair grounds, the scene of the accident, are about three miles from town. After the first shock sustained by the throng, assistance was guen to the injured, it was found that Altus Bean, of Richfield. 19 years of age, was dead Among the most seriously injured RUSSO-JAPANE- SIGNED il.

On the Instant of the consummation of the great historical act a salute was fired at the United States navy yard on KUtery Point. Both Russian and Japanese missions, on their arrival at the nary yard, were received at the entrance of the building by Admiral Mead, while two companies of marines commanded by Major Moses rendered military honors. The copies of the treaty of peace brought to the navy yard had been carefully compared by the secretaries of the two missions In order to avoid the necessity of reading them before the signing, at which personages extraneous to the negotiations assisted. When the secretaries had ascertained the perfect exactness of the two copies the plenipotentiaries of the treaty, and the other members of the two missions entered the conference hall, accompanied by Assistant Secretary Admiral Peirce, Governor McLane, Mead and the mayor of Portsmouth. M. Witte, the chief of the Russian plenipotentiaries, was the first to sign his name to the treaty. After the ceremonies of the signing of the treaty Baron De Rosen delivered a short speech, pointing out the importance of the event and the Influence it will have In the relations between the two countries. He ended by expressing the satisfaction he felt at the good relations which have characterized the work of the plenipotentiaries. Baron Komura replied, paraphrasing Baron De Rosens speech, and expressing his thankB for the kind words addressed to himself and to the members ot his mission. The entire Russian mission, headed by M. Witte, attended a thanksgiving service celebrated in Christ Episcopal church both by American and Russian clergymen. one of the chief members of the Japanese mission said: The treaty signed today may be the most important historical feature of the twentieth century.
