Oakland on that day, and Peter
Broderick, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Broderick, got into an alteration
when the teamster struck Broderick

injuring him. The man who made
the attack upon Broderick was i'm
mediately set upon by some of the
citizens of Oakland who witnessed the
assault who only saved himself from
a severe beating by taking to his
heels and making his escape through
the woods where he was chased by
the angry crowd. If he had been
caught he would have been summarily
dealt with. He was fired upon sever
al times by his pursuers, but managed

During the terrific lightning and
thunder storm last night a bolt of
lightning descended from the sky and
struck the large barn of John J.
Brenneman, situated Il few miles
east of Accident toward Bittinger.
Immediately following the flash the
surrounding country was illuminated
by the burning structure in which
was stored 300 bushels of grain, a large
amount of hay, farming implements,
wagons, etc, besides stock. chickens
and feed cutters. All the stock was
saved except one calf and about POO
chickens. Mr.. Brenneman is a very
progressive farmer and mounted upon
his barn and attached to Il number
of pieces of machinery was Il steel
windmill which probably attracted
the lightning. The building was
80 100 feet, substantially built and
comparatively new. Among the ma
chinery burned was Il threshing ma
chine, wagons, in fact ali the farming
implements except a mower and ma
nure spreader. The loss is placed at
81, 900 with no insurance. Mr.. Bren-
neman is quite aged and the shock
Occasioned by his loss has completely

of the remains after cutting them up
by burying them or throwing them in
the Chicago river. The piece of lung
found to-day is about the size of a
