 Lightning performs curious freaks. On Tuesday an electric charge struck the top of tree near H. M. Hartson's Oak Park dairy. It followed down the tree for several feet, when it came in contact with a large projecting limb. when the electric current seemed diverted into the body of the tree, shattering It into . million pieces. It continued it's course toward the ground until 8 steel clothes line was encount- cred, when a portion of the current followed it to post, near which chicken coop stood, killing every chicken in the coop. The lightning then seemed to .leap from this post to a gate post short distance away. through which it entered the ground, shatleripg the post into atoms. Mir. Hartson and family were considerably shocked by it, and the former says he experienced severe pam in his head immediately afterwards, from which he did not recover for twenty-four hours. --Journal-Miner.
