AT SAME TIME
All The Clocks In Oregonia, Ohio, Were Mysteriously Stopped

All the clocks stopped in the village of Oregonia east of Lebanon Saturday night at two minutes before midnight and the residence of the community are now wondering what caused this strange occurrence. The general conjecture is that an earthquake visited the village. Early morning risers found timepieces not running and communication with their neighbors revealed the fact that the same condition prevailed throughout Oregonia. It was necessary to telephone to Lebanon to ascertain if it was breakfast time. Many of the clocks will not run now and must be carted away for repair.
