Lightning Strikes Her Dumb

Altoona, Pa. During a severe storm Monday the home of Adam FISHEL was struck by lightning. Mr. and Mrs. FISHEL were rendered unconscious by the shock. Mrs. FISHEL is still in a precarious condition, having lost the power of speech.

The unconscious couple were rescued from the burning house just in time to save their lives. The homes of R. V. AYERS, C. V. DEMAREE, and William KLINK, in the same neighborhood, were struck and the occupants were all shocked, Mrs. KLINK seriously.
