He saw the storm coming and ran: to the
barn. He succeeded In getting his horses
inside. He started for the house and was
ter" rod s.distant from the barn and exactly
10 line with the storm. Witnesses say the
man was lifted from the ground and hurled
into the air at least loo feet. Oxinger's
lifeless body was found about 100 rods
from where it was lifted info the air. His
bones pT0truded from the flesh and. his
body. indicates that be came in contact
with many Of the flying trees and beams.

IN company with OxInger and started for
the barn. To the fact that his team be-
came unman ageable and broke away from
him be pro bAbly owes his life
