Lightning Struck Twice In Same Place in Country.

For the second time in recent years lightning struck twice in the same place on the B. T. Lanham farm, south of town. The second visit was Wednesday night at 12 o’clock and as before, his barn and contents were burned.' A good mare was killed anc a colt so badly burned that it was decided to kill it. On the former visit of the lightning a colt was burned in precisely the same way, necesstating that it be killed. Mr. Lanham’s loss was covered by insurance in the G. H. McLain agency and will probably not exceed 1300, the barn being a small one.
