Strange Lightning Strikes Farmstead in Bucyrus
A fierce storm in Bucyrus Ohio struck an iron hitching post in front of David Krauter's home. A bolt reportedly jumped to the kitchen where Mrs Krauter was cooking, shocking her as a knife in her hand attracted the strike. The bolt damaged the post, a flower bed, and related areas while a lone tea blossom survived. The piece ends with an unrelated product notice for Chamberlains cholera and diarrhoea remedy sold by C J Haydon.
