Struck by Lightning.

Lightning struck G.. A. Williams
residence in Brookings during the storm
Sunday evening and did considerable
damage. The bolt came down the
chimney and scattered plastering all
owe the house. Mrs. Williams and her
mother, Mrs. Burleigh, were in the
kitchen. Both ladies were stunned,
the latter almost lost her hearing, and
it is yet d fficult to talk with her. Mr..
Williams was alseep Il the time and lie
says the first thing he realized was that
he found himself looking out of the
window TO see which of his neighbor's
houses were damaged. Mrs. Williams
called him and upon going &c the
kitchen he saw a flame outdoors. His
first thought was that the electricity
had burst a pressure tank Of gasolise
setting outside. Upon examination
found hat lightning had struck the
copper wires leading from the tank TO
the lights inside and the gasoline had
caught fire A few pals of water put
out the flames and saved his property.
