We had a very heavy thunder
gust last night, or this
morning about 2 o'clock, it
was decidedly the heaviest
electric storm we have had
this summer. It was still
cloudy this fore noon & indeed
more or less all day. Charley &
Dora went to "Elton" soon
after breakfast in the road
cart. I took the carriage &
drove over to Stiffler's and
brought home our "squirrel
cage" and a squirrel that
Stiffler had caught for Edwd;
Edwd going with me. I finished
painting the cage.
Willie rode the bicycle down
to Walter Brooke's & back
this afternoon. Walter Scott
called to see Charley after
dusk. fortunately C had not
returned from Elton.
