STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

Mrs. E. E. Thornton, while unpacking a basket of clothes in her home on Breckenridge St., last week, was struck in the foot by lightning. There is no sign to show where the light. ming entered the room, but it struck Mrs. Thompson in the foot, and ripped the shoe and hose to shreads.
 It was probably one of the most peculiar instances of the activity of lightning on record. Aere was a small magnet near her foot. and it is thought that this attracted the lightning. There was also small oil stove nearby, and 1t was lighted by the current.
 Attending physicians say that Mrs. Thornton's foot is not bro- ken. and so far as can be learn en at present, there is no injury beyond the nervous shock occa- stoned by fright. Beacon Her aid, Camden.
