STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Last Friday afternoon j. r. Chad
wick and family were overtaken by an
electric storm on the road between
their home and Sawyer and were struck
by lightning. Both horses were in
stantly killed and all OF the members
OF the family hurt except one child.
MIR. Chadwick was injured severely.
His back and limbs were badly burned
and he suffered great agony. He is
getting along fairly we'll, however, and
will recover. Mrs. Chadwick's foot was
badly burned, but she was not hurt
otherwise. Two children were injured
only slightly.
This is q reminder that lightning
plays wonderful freaks. Mr.. Chad
wick was driving the team, Mrs. Chad.
wick sat behind him and the children
we're close by her. The bolt struck Mr..
Q. on the shoulders and ran down to
his feet, ripping his clothing and finally
cutting one boot In two near the instep.
Mrs. Chadwick's shoe was also cut in
two as successfully as though it had
been done with q knife. Mr.. Chad
wick was unconscious several minutes,
but Mrs. Chadwick and the children
were not even stunned.
The team was an exceptionally good
one and Mr.. Chadwick's loss and rer-
sonal injuries fall very hard on him.
OF course, it can be said that it is for.
tunate that it was no worse, but yet it
was as severe as it could hsye been and
life still remain. MIR. Chadwick is one
OF Barber county's best citizens and his
friends deeply depiore the misfortune.
He is certainly entitled to the sympa
thy and assistance of all his friends and
neighbors.
