Washburn ne,ghtorhood was d rattler in

IN range Of the bolts Of lightning that
struck down from. the clouds John dig
ney the harness man had narrow escape
from the bolt that struck his flag pole and
in two parts-one going down
the, log in front Of his doorway. the other
following along the water pipe TO- the
rear Of his building and striking ths
barreil underneath the pipe. No great
damage was done, but John vas awakened
to the realization that safety in . thunder
