LIGHTNING STRIKES A CIRCUS
During a severe thunderstorm at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon at River
Falls, Wis, lightning struck the center
pole of the circus tent of Ringing
Brothers. Seven people were killed
instantly, and quite number injured,
none of the latter fatally.
The greatest CONSERVATION followed.
The rain continued falling in great
sheets, and the bodies Of the dead We're
soaked through before they could be
removed. AS soon as possible Ring
ling Bros. and their employees did
everything in their power to alleviate
the condition of the wounded. The
dead bodies were taken down town and
laid out on the floor of the engine
house, where they were, with the ex-
ception of an unknown boy, identified
in a few minutes after their arrival.
The scene, as relatives identified their
dead, was distressing. One elderly
gentleman, the father Of young Dean,
tainted, and was carried out of the en-
gine-house. The clothing on some OF
the dead was torn in shreds, while 9th
ers presented no external evidence OF
the fatality except the awful stare and
fixed. rigid features. The number OF
wounded is estimated all the way from
ten to thirty. Most of them were TAX
en- home as soon as possible, and are
now doing well. The presence of mind
of the Ringlings and their employees
prevented a stampede, which undoubt-
edlv would have been attended with
still greater fatalities. The crowd was
held in check and the dead and wound
ed removed as soon as possible.
