FREAK OF LIGHTNING
TEARS CLOTHES OFF OF CHILD
BUT SHE ESCAPES PRAcTic-
ALLY UNHuRT. w..

Alton, Iowa, Oct. 20.--Struck by
lightning, yet alive today to tell of
her terrifying and miraculous ex.
perience, is the wonderful occurrence
that happened to the 9-year-old daugh-
ter of David Shifflett, living southeast
lof Alton. -
The incident occurred Sunday after.
noon during a rain storm in her
uncle's barn, where a number of the
lShifflett children had gathered to
lplay during the rain. The lightning
struck the roof of the barn and de-
scended to the ground, splitting mass
i've timbers on it's way. The little
Shifflett girl was standing, or rather
STOPPING, in the doorway, holding an
opened pumpkin out under the caves
to catch the rain as it rolled off the
roof. The lightning apparently struck
her at the hips, for every shred of
the garment she wore below that
point was stripped from her body.
Her stockings and skirts were torn
into shreds and her shoes were slit
wide open and jerked off her feet.
The stroke left her unconscious, but
after a few minutes she revived and
was unhurt, not even being burned
bad enough to be blistered.

somewhat burned about the face aud
hands, the explosion being full in
his face.
The DOCTOR EARLIER in the evening
had been in the basement to replica
ish the supply of carbide" in the
generaltoy. The supply of water in
the tank was low and a leak resulted.
AS soon as this was detected the doc
tor went to the basement carrying
a lamp, which caused the explosion
when brought near the tank. The
force of the explosion caused the leak
to be increased and the fame there
from was playing against the floor
joists and set fire thereto. The
doctor unmindful of his injuries and
burns ordered an alarm turned in and
fought with the fire in the basement
in the effort to save his home. He
took what means he had at hand to
keep down the fire until the arrival
of the department. The flames were
put out by mans of the chemical ap'
paratus.
The damage to the house is slight,
the flames not being permitted to get
much of a start, but the smoke pene-
trated to all rooms and caused some
inconvenience.
The doctors burns while severe are
not serious. The cheeks, lips, nose
and chin were somewhat scorched
and the hair and eyebrows singed.

EAST HIGH VICTORIOUS,

The Oskaloosa high school met de
feat at the hands of tie East Des
Moines school at the Drake Stadium
Saturday afternoon in one-sided con
test by the score of 20 to 0. The Os
kaloosa boys did not put up as good
contest as they did in the Marshall
town game. The work of the back
field was ragged, while the ends al
lowed East High to make long gains
by end runs. The players lay the
cause of defeat to much practice
work during the week, the men being
about tagged out when they went into
the game. But the Oskaloosa team
pulled off the prettiest play of the
contest when Ed Dodds made a pretty
forty-yard run on a forward pass on
one of Coach Hurts new "peek-a-boo'
plays.
