Show LIGHTNING CAUSES EXCITEMENT HERE The odds against lightning striking strik-ing a person or an animal are pretty big, but Mel Reeves, secretary secre-tary of the C of C, is not so sure the odds are so great after all, for a bolt struck the corner of their chicken house on 785 South State Tuesday morning and injured a thoroughbred saddle mare. Another flash struck near a tree on South State and knocked down a former1 CCC youth who happened to take refuge from the shower under un-der it. Although severely shaken, he was hot seriously injured. His name couldn't, be obtained. Immediate first aid brought Reeve's mare around and apparently apparent-ly she will recover satisfactorily. A corner of the - chicken house, however, was blasted into splinters. |
