LIGHTNING STRIKES FOGLI SALOON

Telephone Completely Burned Out— Only Slight Damage Done to Building.

Mt. Ayr Tribune. During the storm the first part of last week lightning struck the Fogii saloon, which is located on the Kankakee river, completely demolishing the telephone, but only slightly damaging the building. Business had just closed, it is understood, and all occupants had only but recently left the building. Otherwise some fatalities might have been to report. According to the prohi’s version no doubt lightning, if it must strike at all, struck in the right place that' time.
