Struck By Lightning

The Rices, living south of town
had some additional fireworks on the
Fourth, when lightning struck the
south part Of the roof of
their house, tearing off the ridge
boards and some shingles and setting
the structure on fire. The fire was
quickly put out with a pail of water.
The bolt of lightning did not enter
the house but followed down the
eavetrough into the cistern. Eight
storm windows were stored directly
under the roof, and five large panes
of glass were broken. Another bolt
of lightning stuck the telephone post
near the house, making hole in the
ground, and followed the wire by the
porch where it burnt all the insulated
wire and scorched the paint. 1t did
not enter the house. The loss was
small and covered by insurance.

OF giving it up. However, he tried
