Twenty-eight Animals of a Large Herd Fall in Electrical Storm.
During an electrical storm which passed through Plainfield twenty-eight head of cattle were killed by lightning. They were in a wooded pasture one and one-half miles south of town, and were owned by the George brothers, farmers in the vicinity, who had seventy cattle in the herd at the time. They were near a wire fence. No mark could be seen on any of the animals or on the fence, but a large walnut tree about fifteen feet distant gave evidence of a heavy shock of lightning.
