MAN KILLED BY LIGHTNING
On Friday evening a man named Francis Williams was killed at the Williams by a flash of lightning. It appears that the deceased was sitting with another man in a slab hut, while a terrific thunderstorm was raging. A tall tree stood near the hut, and this, it is supposed, attracted the lightning. Descending the tree a vivid flash entered the hut, and killed the deceased, burning all the clothes off his body. The other man who was with him, it is said, was also injured in the leg by the lightning.
