REARDAN IN DARKNESS.
--- Machinery of Electric Light Company Breaks.
REARDAN, Dec. 17.—On account of the breakage of the machinery, the Reardan electric light plant has closed down and the town is in darkness, for the first time since the establishment of the plant. The mishap comes at an unfortunate time, as the Christmas stock of the merchants cannot be shown to good advantage by coal-oil light. The lighting company has decided to put in a new engine, and it will probably be three weeks before the plant is again in operation.
