A fortunate misfortune occur-
red on the D. W. Wilson farm,
within the corporate limits ol the
city, Wednesday of last week,
when S. L. McJunken, who is
(arming the place, and son were
plowing. Mr. McJunken had
stopped to fix his plow and when
his son drove up opposite where
the father was, left his team
standing and started over to
where his father was. He had
ardly reached his father's side
when a flash of lightning came,
killing the the team the son was
working and knocking down
both father and son and one of
the horses Mr. McJunken was
working. Had not the son gone
over to assist his father, in all
probability the strike that killed
nis team would also have killed
him.
