anything about it, ard that same leads US to
remark that while two masts are not enough

About six years ago q little son Of Mr..
Henry Shaffer, Of Johnstown, fell dead IN
the street during thunder storm, and it was
thought at the time that he had been struck

same gentleman dropped dead While skating.
I In both instances the boys were sound and
healthy, and in neither case would the pa
