Near Fatal Stroke Of Lightning.

About four o'clock Tuesday after
noon M. William Pointer who lives in
the Flatwood section of the county,
sought shelter from an approaching
shower in the barn of Mr.. George
Elan. In the barn was Mr. Elan, his
two little children, Mr.. Pointer and
the latters horse. Lightning struck a
post of the barn, glanced and killed
the horse, and shocked the occupants
of the barn into insensibility. When
Mr.. Elan regained consciousness he
saw the horse dead and Mr.. Pointer on
the ground by it's side and supposed
that he also was dead, he carried him
to the house and Immediately sum-
moned medical aid. DIR. Elliott went
out and found Mr.. Pointer to be raw
ing maniac as the result of the shock,
it requiring the combined efforts of
several men to hold him in bed, he re-
manned in this condition until Wednes-
day afternoon, when he seemed to re-
cover his senses, and apparently suffer
no bad effects as the result of his ter
rible experience. Mr.. Elan too had a
very narrow escape as a long black
mark appears across the back of his
shirt and suspenders, plainly showing
the trail of the lightning.

TURMOIL And CONFUSION
AT The National Republican Convention In
Chicago And Nothing Done Towards
Nominating

AS the Record goes to press the Re
publican National Convention is in con-
fusion and further than the election of
a temporary chairman, nothing has
been done. The convention opened by
the followers of Roosevelt demanding
of Chairman Rosewater of the National
Committee, who called it to order,
that the Roosevelt roll of delegates be
accepted in lieu of the Taft roll, this
would mean the seating of the eighty
or, more delegates which the National
Committee had unseated; Rosewater
held that nothing was in order before
him save the election of a temporary
chairman, which was at once proceeded
with, Secretary Elihu Root the Taft
candidate winning over Gov. McGovern
of Wisconsin, the candidate put for
ward by the followers of T. R., by a
vote of 558 to 502. This vote is taken
to be Indicative of the relative strength
of the two candidates and would indi-
cate that the Taft forces are in control.
After Mr.. Roots election as temporary
chairman, the same question as to the
substitute roll call was put before him,
and up to late hour yesterday after
noon Gov. Hadley of Missouri was ar
guing the question, and the indications
are that, that it will be several days
before nomination is had, for as yet
not even the Committee on Credentials
has been appointed. One thing only is
certain, not living man is as yet able
to tell who will be nominated, but so
far. Taft is the favorite and if he is
the republican nominee it looks like
Roosevelt is sure to run on an indie
pendent ticket. Senator Bradley has
stood by the President to the last and
to-day Thursday is slated to second
his nomination in one of those good
speeches for which he is noted.
The democrats are eagerly watching
for the final result and many of them
are of the opinion that no matter who
the republicans nominate, the democra
tic nominee will be elected in Noyem-
Der. -
