Killed by Lightning.
Clarion, June 19.—On last night a bolt of lightning killed a farmer who lives a few miles from this place. His name was James Mc Hale. He had gone out in the storm to shut off his windmill, when he was stricken down. After he was out a while his family became alarmed, and on going out to discover the cause of his delay, found that he had been stricken down by the fatal bolt.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born July 2, 1848 and is buried in St. John’s Cemetery.
