BOy Killed by Lightning.

The sad news reached town Satur-
day morning that Gilbert, the ID year
old son of Ole Fossum, who lives in
Highland township, was instantly
killed by lightning Friday evening
about 6 o'clock, during a sharp electric
rain storm that prevailed for half hour.
The bolt struck the barn and ripped
studding and boards evidently before
striking the boy. The only evidence
Of contact was a spot on the boys
shoulder and down on the waist line.
His clothing was ripped from the
body, and death must have been
instantaneous.
His elder brother and a younger
brother were near Gilbert when the
deadly flash came but escaped injury.
They were shocked one Of them falling.
The funeral took place Monday at
the family home and the service was
conducted by Rev. Nummedal OF
Moe. Interment was in Lands church
cemetery. A large number OF friends
we're present, who silently and sadly
showed their deep sympathy for the
family ove the loss Of their splendid
boy so tragically removed from the
home circle. There is something
terrible in the fatality of a lightning
flash. In the merest fraction of time
life and death are merged and we
stand appalled, and wonder at the
mystery.

had secured positions in Seattle and
made up their minds to win. They
are fine young men, honorable and up
