Lightning Kills Three Horses

Lightning Kills Three Horses
Logan, la. May 24-O9. While
my hired man was in the field
narrowing, Wednesday May 10,
a bolt of lightning struck the 4
horse team killing 3 of them
and stunning the 18th one. They
were insured one-half in the
Hawkeye and one-half in the
Des Moines Fire ms. Co.'S Of
lies Moines, la. with l. L. Sam
pie. "The Fire ms. Man"
/ had a $3.50 limit in the pol
icys on horses, so today Mr..
Sample called and paid me the
full limit, or $3.50 for the 3
head killed, and we have agreed
to let the stunned one stand 3
weeks and then agree on the
damage. The 3 horses killed
would have sold any day for
5000 each and if | would have
let Mr.. Sample insure them for
a 5000 limit a year as he want
ed to, | could have received
$3.50 more for my 8 dead horses
today, so | have today had Mr..
Sample re-write my policys
making me a 5000 limit on hor-
ses as | believe everyone should
carry insurance, especially on
horses to their full value.

There are some amusing memories at kyieakin. in Skye. of a visit once made there by Carlyle traveling ip the train of Lady Ashburton. The Ky. leakinses felt A lively curiosity con corning the distinguished author, and whenever he appeared in public he was surrounded by crowd of admir- ing men. women and children who had heard sensational reports concerning his "cleverness as a scholar" Carlyle seemed to like this hero worship until these admirers clustered round him while he was in the midst of his sea bath one day Then he assailed them in language much more emphatic than elegant. which soon made them take to their heels and scamper eff with all speed out of his sight Lady Ashbur ton had prayers with her daughter and servants morning and evening. but the sage was never present. During these periods. Neil Machines. the innkeeper. used to relate. he would lead me to the coffee room and there. laying hold of me by the coat buttonhole. he would lecture to me for half an hour on end on all sorts of subjects. and he would be so intent on it that he wouldn't allow me to put in q word.
