A flash of lightning struck the electric light wires and passed through the shed, knocking the cows and the men down, and. rendering them insensible. Both men suffered a severe shock, and two of the cows were killed. Several houses round about had the fusee blown out by the lightning. Both the men have recovered from their terrifying experience.
