Miss Edith Metzne r, a young
lady sixteen years Of age, was
struck by lightning and badly in
jured Monday afternoon at the
home of her parents, who reside
on the John Schmierer farm two
and one half miles northwest of
town. She was at work in the
kitchen when the house was struck,
completely shattering the corner of
the building, tearing off half of the
plaster from the ceiling aud break
ing every window in the room.
DR.. Stonebraker was called and
found Miss Metzner in a critical
condition. The skin was nearly
all burned from the upper portion
of her face5 the current then pass
ing down the side of her face to
her arm and breast. She is still
somewhat delirious at times, and
her memory is much impaired.
Her eyesight does not seem to have
been destroyed, though she is un-
able to bear any light and has to
be kept in a darkened room. The
chances seem to be good for her
recovery, though it is possible that
some of her senses or mental fac
ulties may be somewhat impaired.
Two brothers of the young LADY
were in the barn at the time the
house was struck and were both
knocked senseless, and all of the
horses in the barn we're knocked to
their knees, but they soon recov.
cred from the shock.
M. NJ. Fike arrived from Mil
l%edgeville, ILL.,, Sunday and is
spending a few days on his farm
north of town. He is putting in
about 900 rods of thing on the
farm and had the work nearly com
pleted before the recent rains came.
With a rain fall of seven inches in
twenty-four hours he had a good
opportunity to test it.
