SIS, common stock $40, 912.95, receipts

a period of three years.
IN. E. Coad, of Garden City writes
the Lake Crystal Union the following
item: During the storm Monday
morning, lightning struck an oak tree
on Roseland farm in the pasture about
13 rods west of the barn, which killed
eleven sheep and shocked one. Ten
were killed instantly, one ran about
A rods Eand fell dead. The sheep
standing nearest to the tree was
struck on the head; the lightning
ran down it's neck and shoulder, burn

was about two feet in diameter, it was
barked a little at the top and some
of the leaves torn off. Where the
bolt fell, the ground was torn up for
