A FREAK ne LIGHTING

A FREAK OF LIGHTING
About FIVE o'clock, on Friday
afternoon, we had a very loud
clap of thunder, and afterwards,
a very heavy shower of rain. 1t
seems the lightning effected
landing near town. DR.. A. E.
Morris had FIVE fine mich COWS
standing in bunch in an open
place in his pasture, near the
swimming pool, and close to
wire fence; the lightning, in
reaching the ground, landed
among the COWS, killing all FIVE
Of them. A horse standing
near the fence was lifted bodily
over it by the shock and thrown
down; he arose, and shaking
himself, walked away uninjured,
but badly scared.

An EASY THING.- Thomas
Day and Richard Mackey, two
colored gentlemen have been
appointed to wait upon the Dis
trict court. SO far as we are
able to learn, their duties are
exceedingly arduous; they
have to sweep out the court
room and bring water. To sat
isfactorily perform these du-
ties requires great care and
much earnest thought. Brains
must be paid for; consequently
these two gentlemen are al
lowed two dollars per day each
for their services. See report
of Commissioners court. One
healthy negro could perform all
the labor done by both the gen
tlemen, and a salary of one dol
lar a day would be munifcent.

If SO, trot him out.

SAD ACCIDENT.

Sisters and Miss Nina Winklsrnan
Drowned In Tank.

quest.

some years kept 4 store at a
neighborhood four miles south
of town, known as Pleasant
Hill; both gentlemen resided in
the immediate vicinity. Mr..
Krug's household consisted OF
himself, wife, a little child -
months old and his unmarried
sister Hedwig, also his mother
in-law Mrs. jain. Misses Mary
Krug and Nina Winkleman,
were stopping with Mr.Amthor's
family. Mrs. Amthor and Mrs.
krug were sisters. On the
evening Of the fourth of July,
Mr.. krug was engaged at the
store. About 9 o'clock the
young ladies' and Mrs. krug
went to the tank in the pas
ture, about $50 or 200 yards
from the dwellings, to take a
boat ride, as they had frequent
ly been in the habit of doing.
About ten minutes past nine
Mr.. Kinney krug went to the
tank and nothing more was
thought OF the matter. Mrs.
Amthor retired at the usual
time, but about IL o'clock had
occasion to go to the room occu-
pied by Misses Mary krug and
Nina Winkleman, not finding
them, she said to Mr.. Amthor,
"Ill go to kinney's and tell
them to come home" 1t should
be stated that the two families
lived close together. Arriving
at Kinney's Mrs. jain, mother
of Mrs. Amthor and Mrs. Krug,
informed her that the girls had
not returned. Mrs. A. then
went to the pond and there
found shoes and clothing on the
bank, and the boat adrift. She
Immediately went back to the
house and gave the alarm. Mr..
Sam Stone, who lives near by,
was informed of the accident
and, in company with Mr..
Sp,ein. they repaired to the
pond, taking with them a Crap
ping hook and rope. Sprein
and a freedman, named Wiley
Taylor, dragged the boat up
and down the pond, agitating
the water; the bodies of Mrs.
Krug, Nina Winkleman and
Mary Krug rose to the surface;
upon dragging the boat again,
the bodies of Kinney Krug and
his sister Hedwig rose near the
same place the other bodies
had come up. This makes it
evident that they must have

water where the bodies came
up was about s feet deep. The
bodies were taken ashore, plac-
ed in a hack and taken to the
late residence of Mr.. Kinney
krug, where the jury of inquest
found them at an early hour on
Friday morning. The evidence
of the Witnesses examined was
substantially the same as mar
rated above. The coroner's
