The home Of Dura Corbin on Sixth
street northeast was struck by light
ming and set on fire in the thunder

o clock, 1t being discovered by Max
Corbin, who resides next door south,
just after the loudest clap of thunder
of the evening.
It struck the east end of the roof.
starting fire in the upper room and
roof, and the flames would have had
good headway but for the timely work
of Max Corbin. who Immediately went
after them with the small hose which
he has connected to the water tank on
the premises and extineuished the
flames in the room, but the water
would not carry to the roof. He there
upon gave the cry of fire but an alarm
was turned in with some dfticultv. as
the telephones in that neighborhood had
been knocked out of commission. The
alarm was responded to by both chem
ical companies, a couple of the hose
companies and hooks, the work of only
the hooks and the chemical companies
being necessary however to extinguish
the blaze. The damages we're confined
to the upstairs and the roof.
Mrs. Dura Corbin, wko was down
stairs with her husband at the time the
bolt struck the place, was rendered
unconscious by the shock, ana Mr..
Corbin was so busy attending to her
that he did not know the house vas on
fire until he heard his sons cry. Mrs.
Corbin was resussitated shortly after,
but was speechless. She was able to
talk tte following morning, however,
and has completely recovered
from the shock. This is the thlrd time
she has been struck by lightning. She
received severe stroke once while
driving in storm with her husband,
act Of turning on the electric light she
was struck by another fash of light
ming.
