LIGHTNING WORKS MUCH HAVOC

Lightning struck the house of Wm. Looker, 1941 Geddes avenue, Friday at about noon. The bolt struck the northeast corner of the roof, tearing off the shingled and throwing them a distance of four or five rods, scattering them over the lawn in all directions. The roof boards were ripped off for some distance and the clap boards were loosened. Other than this no damage was done.

The family were seated in the room directly under the spot struck, but no one felt any shock. It was a fortunate escape from harm for the family, who feel very thankful that they escaped without more serious damage done than that done to the roof.
