Mrs. Bette Lee, says the Brook

porch at 1890 Tuesday morning dur
ing a thunderstorm when a bolt of
lightning struck her spectacles. The
current passed down her body to the
end of one of her toes on her right
foot. The shock rendered her uncon-

parently fully recovered that evening

streak down the front OF her body to
the end of her toe. Mrs Lees es-
cape from death is considered almost
miraculous.
