cause the old adage that lightning
never strikes twice in the same place
has ON numerous occasions proven
false as far as he is concerned, Ray
Kenrick and family have abandoned
a farm in Dawson county.
Every electrical storm that visits
that part of the state includes the
Kenrick farm within the scope of its
operations Members of the family
have had number of narrow escapes
from death and extensive damage has
been done to the property.
About twelve years ago Pearl Bloom,
a daughter of the former owner of the
farm, was killed by lightning near the
house. During the succeeding years
lightning has struck the farm number
less times. To cap the climax, few
days before Kenrick decided to aban-
don the farm a young man working
for him was stunned by a bolt and
picked up for dead.
