Six Horses Killed by Lightning.
Master ton, February 5.
The rumour that a man was killed by lightning at Opaki turns out to be incorrect, although two men had a narrow escape. They were unharnessing in the stable of Captain Holmwood when a flash of forked lightning passed through the building and struck six horses dead. Both men were knocked down, and it was thought one was killed. Dr. Beard, on his arrival, found this was not so, tbf men only being paralyst 1. The horses were valued at .£l5O. No other serious damage is reported.
