STRIPPED BY LIGHTNING.

The Startling Experience of a Montana
Man. Who stuI Survives the shock.
Charles Il. Hoffman. of Butte Mont.
was standing at the mouth of a mine
not long ago when he was struck by
lightning. The thunderbolt. h,. thinks.
first struck the straw hat he was wear
ing. and il tore a hole in the hat that
cut part of the rim Then it tore his
clothing into Shreds and left him
naked. Both his overallS and the shirt
he was wearing presented the appear
ance of having passed through Il sau-
sage mill. Nobody can tell him why
he was not killed 10y the lightning
The bolt, he says, after passing through
his hat, struck him on the shoulder and
ran the full length of his body burn
ing the skin to a crisp on the side and
legs 1t also gut his left foot on the
side and bottom, breaking the bones of
the foot.
My clothes We're torn to pieces and
thrown from my body said Mr. Hoff-
man to writer for the New York
World, and my shoes were torn from
my feet
He became unconscious as soon as he
was struck by the lightning and did
not revive for an hour and a half.
When he regained his senses Hoffman
was in great pain and he was confined
To the hospital for nine weeks. When
Hoffman : clothing was examined after
the accident il was seen that in many
places the lightning had cut the cloth
as neatly as if it had been done with a
razor Some of the cuts were long and
straight The lightning took his
clothes off quicker than he could have
undreSSed himself. and il threw them
in pile on one side of the track. with
his shoes carefully deposited beside the
pile The clothes seemed to have been
neatly folded until they were exam
ined and found TO be pile of rags
Hoffman's pants" had been yanlzed off
him without the fOrInality of pulling
them over his feet. This seemingly i'm
possible task WAS accomplished bv
the lightning first cutting each leg
open, and then II appeared to have TAX
en- them by the seat and dropped them
on the cCat. and To finish the Job by
depositing Mr.. Hotfman's straw hat on
top of all. After il got through with
Hoffman this remarkable streak of
lightning ran along metal track into
the Glengarv mine. at the mouth of
which he had been working ran to the
end of the shaft. which i four hundred
feet below the surface of the ground
and then II ran along a cross cut two
hundred feet where 1t branched off and
for sixty feet followed a WINE"
There were several men at work at this
point.and all were more or less stunned.
The bolt of lightning went into the
earth when it reached the end of the
WINE" Hoffman il now known in
Butte as the human lightning rod

AN OMINOUS BRIDGE.
Spot at Which Superstitious Wedding
Parties All Turn Back.


Parties All Turn Back
A bridge which iS carefully avoided
by wedding couples because of the
traditions which surround IL spans a
stream called the goldbrook. in the
parish of HoXne. near Eye, in the coun-
ty of Suffolk. England. Standing in
the center f an open field at HoNne Is
an obelisll to the memory of Edmund,
king of the East Angles, who was
killed by the Danes in $40. On the site
Of the monument stood an oak tree, in
the branches of which the king took
refuge from his foes At nightfall he
emerged from his leafy hiding place
and secreted himself under the above
mentioned bridge. \ wedding party
passing over the bridge AZ night OBJ
served the kings gold spurs glittering
in the moonlight. and in this way he
was betrayed TO his enemies. who took
him back to the oak tree and shot him
with arrows. Local tradition has il
that many years ago the existing in
scription of the event was followed 10y
the words: Cursed toe the wedding
party that passes over this bridge" No
such words are now visible, but the
tradition Is 50 well known that bridal
parties prefer taking a ci-cuitous route
rather than pass over Goldbrook bridge.
