Struck by Light
ming at Medora
Horse Killed While Being Lead By
D. f. 0Imsted, Who Was
Slightly Injured

Medora Herald. July 22:-In the
storm of Tuesday evening D. F.
Olmsted was struck by lightning,
sustaining a shock that made it
necessary to send him to Dickin-
son for treatment.
Mr.. Olmsted caught the horse
by the name to lead him into the
barn when a bolt of lightning
struck the horse killing him in
stantly. The horse fell on Mr..
Olmsted. pinning him down help
less. His predicament was not
discovered for sometime. and when
found he was unable to move.
Outwardly all the signs of an
electric shock on the man was a
dsep burn on the hand. How
long he lay unconscious is not
known; it was thirty minutes from
the time of the flash until he was
discovered.
{. Mrs. Olmsted and Willis Follis
accompanied him to Dickinson.
The case is we'll illustrative of
the vagaries of lightning. It was
only the natural high resistance
of the horses name that prevented
a larger portion of the main
charge from passing through the
mans body. Had the name been
dry, probably Mr.. Olmsted would
have sustained but a momentary
daze.
Later: The injured man re-
tured on No. 3 Wednesday, and.
other than a burn and being very
sore and stiff, he says he feels very
we'll.
