Master Chapman Jelley, the 14 year old son of Mr. James Jelley, of O’Leary, had a miraculous escape from sudden death last Monday afternoon. He was harrowing on his father’s farm in the bright sun- shine, at the time when a heavy thunderstorm was passing some miles to the southward. All at once he was struck down by a bolt from the blue. His father, who was near the barn, when the flash came, looked to where his son was at work, but he could see neither the lad nor the team, all being enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke and dust. When this cleared, he saw that his son and the horses were lying on the ground, and ran to the rescue. Both the horses were dead in their tracks, but the lad was fortunately only stunned, and came around in a few minutes. His only injuries were to one leg which was severely burnt. The lightning had torn two large holes in the ground about six feet apart and where the boy lay, when his father rescued him, was just midway between these two holes. The field is only about one mile distant from the spot where last year Mr. Johnathon Adams was instantly killed by lightning while standing in the doorway of his farm.
