TEN CATTLE dSILLED
Cuirass' Farmer Has Heavy. •Loss
By Lightning.
William Keitli, a farmer of the 5th
Concession of Culross, had ten head
of 'cattle - killed by, one lightning belt
during the ',storm Sunday. ,night.
There were six :fat steers and four
yearlings; When foundNnine of the
'animals: were. lying .'in ' a heap -as
close ° together, as could .•be -and • one
was a little., apart from. the group„
-red ^ • Ml.. Keith. had- his stock i nsu,
. with t'hp Cfilross Mutual:: Oh Mon
day two Teeswater butchers went out
.and tookthe hides off the dead an
imals while ten of Mr. Keith's neigh.,
• bors dug a great trench in which .the
carcasses were buried:. This is the.
most sensational loss .we have heard
of due to the'storm.
The loss of a bunch of cattle in
this way is not uncommon.` • The . ex -
.planation seems to 1,e that •the • c 'ttle
taking, shelter from the storm v der
a tree, send-up: a• column of v per
from 'their damp' .warm bodies. . This
