house where the unfortunate people
lived is situated four miles east OF Lari-
more on the Turtle river, was surround
! ed by trees and the bolt oflightning that
killed them dorted down and went in
zigzag directions over and through the
house, doing its awful work in the twink
ling OF an eye 1t would seem that Mr..
North, his wife and little son were strick-
en- down together. The youngest child
of the North's happened to be over to @
neighbors house a few yards away when
the storm came up. AS soon as the
storm abated, the child was taken back
to the home OF it's parents, and Mr..
North found in a cramped position in the
door, md on little further, the wife in
a somewhat similar position and the
little three year old boy close by. 1t was
a sad sight to see the three stricken down
80 suddenly. The family consisted OF
two boys, the Youngest being about SIX
teen months old and the only survivor.
Mr.. North was well known in Larimore
and was member of the Woodman
! lodge.
