Indiana County Folks
Burned by Lightning
Mr.. and Mrs. William Luhr-
ing, of Rayne township
Rendered Unconscious.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Luh-
ring, of Rayne Township, were
rendered unconscious and bur-
ned from head to feet by a bolt
of lightning Monday evening.
Several persons were in the
house during the storm and they
were all seated in the kitchen
when the current passed thru
the opposite end of the house
through the adjoining room,
where the current evidently
scattered as it passed to the cell
lar below as well as through the
door and over the bodies OF Mr..
and Mrs. Luhring, who were
thrown from their chairs and
rendered unconscious for some
time. The path of the current
can be plainly traced by a discol-
ored line which extended from
their head to their feet. The
hair on the back of the head OF
Mrs. Luhring was slightly bur-
ned by the current and the hair
on a portion of the body of Mr..
Luhring is plainly singed. The
condition of both husband and
wife was regarded as most SER
ious for several hours after their
terrible experience, and it requi-
red the services of DR.. H. B.
Neal. of Indiana, to revive the
couple.
Mrs. William Luhring, the
mother of the injured man, was
seated between the couple who
had such a narrow escape, but
she experienced only slight
shock as did all the others in
the house. The house was fired
by tn bolt, but the damage was
only slight.

Chases Mules in An
Auto; Saves Riddles
Three Youngsters Hoped in
to Wagon, Driver Out, and
Hit Mules.

F. NJ. Friedman, superinten-
dent of the Rochester & Pitts
burg coal interests in this dis
trict, stepped into the hero class
when, driving his motor car at
high speed, he probably saved
the lives of two children by over
taking a runaway team Of mules
and checking the gait of the an
imals.
C. b Rhea of Young township
was delivering merchandise to
a home at Aultman, nine miles
west of Indiana, in a wagon

drawn by a team Of mules. While
Rhea was in the house three
children climbed into the wagon
and whipped the mules into a
run. The frightened animals
started toward Jacksonville, two
miles away, at a breakneck
speed just as Rhea emerged
from the house.
A moment later Supt. Frit-
Gilman came into view in his
auto. Rhea stopped him and ex-
planned the situation and Mr..
Friedman started after the run
aways. He caught up with them
more than a mile away, passed
the team as it was about to
swing around a sharp curve in
the road and succeeded in stop
ping them.
One child had been thrown
from the wagon, but the other
two were still clinging to the
seat when the mules were stop
ped. None of the three was hurt.
