BOLT OF LIGHTNING
KILLS farmer
CHARLES CARRUTHERS STRUCK
WHILE AT WORK ON RANCH
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
DEATH NOT INSTANTANEOUS ||D
Victim Unconscious Almost Two Hours
After Accident Before End Came
& Leaves Wife and Three Sons.

Charles Carruthers was killed b,
lightning while working in his grail
field on the Mcdonald farm near Fem
late Monday afternoon.
Carruthers was driving a four-horse
team hitched to a binder. The accident
occurred at $3.50 o. clock in the Afternoon
and the first intimation of the affair
had by the men working nearby was
when they heard sharp clap of thun
der and saw Carruther's team running
across the field at rapid gait.
The men found Carruthers lying
where he had fallen from the binder
seat. He was still alive, but uneonsci
ous. He died an hour and half later
before DR.. Warner who had been sum.
moned some little time after the acci-
dent arrived at the ranch. DR.. Warner
made the trip from Grangeville to the
ranch in an auto in 25 minutes.
Lightning is Freakish.
AS is usually the case the bolt of
lightning which killed Carruthers had
some mighty freakish antics. 1t left ne
marks whatever upon the binder, or any
of the horses; and seemed to aim at
Carruthers as the sole object of its vio-
lent wrath. His body bore no evidences
at all of the shock.
Carruthers leaves wife and three
small boys to mourn his loss; a loss
which every citizen of the town and
country feels deeply Carruthers re-
sided in the city several months
before renting the place near Fem
where he met his death and he and his
family had countless friends here who
extend their sympathies to the sorrow
ing wife and little ones in their time of
grief.
The funeral was held here today and
was largely attended
