farmer living near Sandtown, was
struck by lightning on Monday even
ing about 6 CLOCK while she was look
ing after her poultry. A boy and girl
aged and II years respectively, who

time to bring her back to consciousness.
The little boy, after recovering from
the shock, ran toward the house calling
for his mother. The father, who was
sitting on back porch, became alarmed
and started with the son toward the
poultry yard, where he found the
mother dead under a cherry tree and
