Miraculous Escape From Death by
Lightning of Family at Kewanee Ill.

Mr.. VIM. Freed the painter is in
receipt of news that the family Of his

cape from death on July Sth. Mr..
Ensley was in Denison last August,
he is relative to the Servoss family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ensley who live at Ke-
vance. Ill.,. on the night of July Sth
had remarkable experience. Their
house was struck by lightning the
whole family stunned and a son and
daughter severely burned. but all
still live. The house was struck
squarely on top. 1t was two story
structure not quite completed and ten
persons were sleeping in two up-stair
rooms. The mother and father and a
babe in one room and the others in
the next room. Lightning struck at
about eleven O'Clock seemingly over
the bed occupied by three children.
1t knocked the timbers flying in every
direction and the the bolt seemed to
run around the room.
On the floor was the fourteen year
old boy Edward. The boys head
resting on a pillow as did also that of
a brother. The bolt passed under the
boys chin and close to his chest,
tearing one corner from the pillow
and passing through the tick to the
downstairs rooms. The hole made in
the tick was so large that a specta-
tors fist could be put through it and
| into the hole in the floor. The boy
wore black shirt and this was torn
to shreds and ripped from his back.
He was found in semi unconscious
condition The hair was burned from
his head and his neck and arms were
burned and blistered terribly. His
father at once picked him up anc
thought HIM dead and went to hell
some of the other children. Later he
came to the boy again and heard {

She has three children. She is a
