LIGHTNING GETS AFTER ALF DONNELLY.

During the storm Thursday forenoon Alf Donnelly's onion house north of town was struck by lightning and a shingles ripped off and the siding and some studding splintered up, but the building did not take fire. The damage will not exceed $25. So confident was Alf of being immune from lightning that it was some time before the family could convince him that one of his buildings had really been given a rap.
