Lightning struck the northwest side of the Tonganoxie school yesterday morning while everyone was in the auditorium. The strike caused a small roof hole and smoke but no major damage. Cracks widening on the Nine Mile bridge abutment prompt questions about foundation width and material quality. County Engineer Perkins and resident M. R. Conrad differ on cause, with calls for a thorough county board inspection and proper oversight of future work.
