.AFTON-A most remarkable freak of
lightning was witnessed here few
days ago when two horses, picketed to-
gether, were killed by one bolt of light
ming, which struck only one horse, al
though similar marks were made on
each animal by the bolt. 1t is thought
that the rope connecting the two animals,
being dragged over tine muddy ground,
served as conductor of the current, and
when the bolt struck one animal itNwas
communicated to the other. This is the
first instance ON record where hemp
rope has conducted electricity of surf
ficient voltage to kill.
