Goodlaud Woman Has Shoes Torn From Her Feet By Lightning.

Mrs. Ida Campbell, a woman about sixty years old residing at Goodland, was struck by lightning during a severe electric storm Sunday afternoon, and will recover. Mrs. Campbell was on the porch and the lightning seemed to cover her entfre person. It melted the rims from her spectacles and tore the shoes from 'her*, feet. One shoe was reduced to ribbons, and the other was split from the sole. As a matter of course the woman was burned and badly shocKed, but the attending physician gays she will recover.—Newton County Enterprise.
