Struck by Lightning.


During a thunder storm last week
the residence of Severt Alness in
Highland township was struck by an
electric bolt that got astray. The
first intimation MI. Alness had of the
electric visitor was a cloud of red
brick dust that came from above and
falling plaster in a room in the
second story. The bolt hit the brick
chimney knocking it into dust and
then tackling the roof making a small
hole in the shingles as it passed in
side where it knocked down more
plaster in the Goth part of a second
than Hans Graneng could put on in
an hour. The bolt just played tag
with the ceiling and walls and when
it got tired it hit the window casing
a belt and went out. not even crack
ing a pane of glass. 80;
Mr.. Alness said the family we're In
the house IN the first floor but none
felt the effects Of the electric visitor.
In fact the family were not ware of
the trouble until it was all over.
Then Mr.. Alness began to investigate
and found that the chimney was gone
and nearly all the plaster knocked of
the walls and ceiling as the bolt
was hunting for exit.
The damage is not heavy but what
Is Is covered by insurance in the
Lincoln County Farmers Mutual, and
the genial Highland township pioneer
is very thankful that the damage wa
confined to brick and plaster.
