BOLT KILLED BLACK SHEEP ONLY.
lightning From CIOudIcss Sky In
Ohio Played Astonishing Freaks.

OhAO GAstFtn EEGAAAs
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"A most singular freak Of lightning oc-
Cured on my farm and its vicinity one
day in August" sad William Arndt of
Van Vert county, Ohio. "a thunder
storm had passed over the locality just
before noon, and the clouds had nearly
all broken away or rolled off TO the south
ward. The sun had come out and all
uneasiness over the storm had passed
when a terrific thunderclap, so close to
the earth that it trembled as If from an
earthquake, broke from the cloudless
monday sky.
81 had a flock of forty sheep in a pas
ture a short distance from my farm
house, and they had huddled together I'M
der a big maple tree in the field while
the rain was falling. They We're still
there when the great laundering broke
the stiffness succeeding the storm. Elgh-
teen of the sheep were black. L found
that every one of them had been killed
by the strange lightning while not one
of the other sheep was injured. Each
dead sheep had round hole in the back
Of its neck, around which the wool was
burned away. The killing of the eighteen
black sheep was the extent of the dam
age done on my farm. On an adjoining
farm a flock OF sheep was standing in a
circle and every sheep on the outside
row was killed, twenty in all. None of
the rest was hurt On another farm
flock of sheep among which was a big
black ram, the only black one in the
flock was in a pasture, huddled about
the big ram. The ram was found dead
in the field with burned hole in his neck,
and his black fleece had been turned as
white by the shock as that of any sheep
in the flock.
"On the Ruling farm, just north of
mine, there were six horses in the barn,
occupying stalls in the row. There was
no mark on the barn showing where he
electric fluid entered, but the horse stand
ing nearest the end OF the barn, and the
third and fifth horse from him were found
dead, a round hole in each ones right
side, with the hair singed around it,
showing the cause of death. The sixth
horse was tied 10 his manger by a small
chain attached to the headgear of the
halter This chain was melted so that
the links were fused into a solid mass
The buckles on the harness of a horse
that had been hitched to a buggy Just
before the thunderclap came were melted
out of shape, and wherever one touched
the horse its shape was branded on the
animals skin.
THE places where these strange freaks
of lightning occurred were far apart, the
Ruling farm being two miles from mine,
but that the single terrible MONDAY thun-
derclap was the cause of all there could
be no doubt, as all the thunder and light
ming of the storm that preceded the cloud
less electrical phenomenon were at a dis
lance, and could have done no damage in
these localities"
