LIGHTNING STRIKES SEVERAL TIMES IN
 ONE LOCALITY.
 The claim that lightning never strike twice in one place came near not being true at the home of Isaac Booth In a shower last week. A bolt struck the side or the house splitting and tearing the wall In two rooms, following the metal in window shade, setting fire to the shade and scattering 1t and wall paper In every difctton, going down to the floor and rolling alond like ball of fire by the feet of several persons to explode in the center of the room and pass through the floor into the cellar and out. Immeli- ately following this tree was struck in the front yard and the fence was split and Hurled in every direction. And immediately after this another tree with in few rods was struck. Strange tn say that out of all this electrical display no one was hurt and the house only slightly damaged. Mrs Pierce of New York has been spending few days with Mrs Will | Ham Wheeler.
