Lightning Strikes Old Academy Building.
Saturday afternoon, about four
o'clock, a heavy clap Of thunder, fol
lowed by a light shower awakened the
people of GoOdland to the fact that
spring, with its thunder showers, had
arrived. A sharp flash of lightning
struck the old Caldwell academy build
ing, located on the east side Of town
Mr.. T. B. Williams and family are liv-
ing in the building, which had been re-
Gently sold to A. J. Atherton. A Re
public representative was sent out and
it was found that it was more serious
than at first thought. The electric
bolt struck the cupOla, demOIishing it
considerably. The cIapbOarding on
the east side was torn of about one
half the side, and the north side was
also IOOsened. Several windows were
broken, and in several places it came
near igniting the wood work. Mrs.
Williams and daughter, Bessie, were
the only ones in the house at the time
The electric current came down the
stove pipe and Mrs. Williams was quite
badly shocked. The premises we're
not insured.
