unconscious and giving her quite a
painful burn on the arm. The light
ming ran the full length Of her arm,
burning her and scorching her cloth
ing. The line was attached to a cor
! ner OF the house occupied by the
| leagues, the bolt striking with such
| force as to severely shock several
children on the inside. Fortunately
no one was seriously hurt

He was born in May, 1879. He Is
