Rubber Boots Save
Farmer From Bolt

Cedar Rapids, Ia, July "a
pair of rubber boots saved the life
of Walter LIE Hue, Benton county
farmer, and that of his cow, it be-
came known here Tuesday when
La Hue was received at a hospital
for treatment.
La Hue was milking the COW
when a severe electrical storm
struck. A bolt of lightning hit
him, burned a deep hole in the
flesh beneath his hip pocket in
which he carried a pair of pliers,
passed through the stream of
milk to the COW, knocking them
both unconscious.
1t is said had La Hue not had on
the rubber boots, both he and the
cow would have been killed in
stantly, as the boots prevented
the charge from passing through
his body to the ground. The COW
has not given milk since.
