Over 25 head of cattle were killed by lightning in a most remarkable way in Finnis county, Kan. A herd of 800 were being moved to another pasture and for a part of the distance were driven through a narrow lane hedged in by a wire fence. While in this narrow passage a thunderstorm overtook them and a bolt of lightning descended and struck a fence post, felling the wire for 200 yards. Every head of cattle that was crowded against the wire was killed.
