: During the thunder storm early on
Sunday morning cow on the farm of Miss
Emma Clark, near Delaware City, was
struck by lightning. The Cow was not
killed, but the entire hide of the animal
was loosed to such degree that handful
may be gathered up on any part of the
body, even between the horns where it is
usually as tight as wax. She seems also
to have been injured about the brain as
her actions are strange and unnatural.
Veterinary Surgeon T.. T. Vail attends her
and feels much interest in the case.
