The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1888-10-20
plowed by Fire.

A most singular scene was witnessed
on Long lake during storm recently
says the Hartford Comm Times. The
lake is three miles long, and is divided
into three bays. About 3:l5 o'clock
vivid flash of lightning illuminated
the scenery, followed by terrific peal
of thunder. The wind by this time was
blowing with cyclonic force. Sudden
ly there came roar, and far down the
lake huge flame of fire could be seen.
The water for yards ahead was parted
as though by a gigantic plow, and the
this furrow for fully twenty feet.
The ball OF fire seemed to force the
water aside, and So deep did it 20 that
the bottom of the lake could almost be
seen as it passed through the narrows.
The parted waters. with their singular
propeller, advanced toward the head
of the lake with great rapidity. When

there came another flash of lightning,

were greatly alarmed. They insist

be buried in the waters of the lake. 1t

the lake became calm.
