Word was received here yesterday of the death of William Fargo, aged 19, at Brayville, Campbell County, as a result of being struck by lightning Saturday. he was working in the tobacco field, when the bolt shot out of a clear sky, killing him instantly.

Witnesses state that there was not a cloud to be seen, and on account of the brightness of the sun, only a few persons saw the lightning flash. The victim was a son of Samuel Fargo, a farmer of Brayville, and was to have pitched a game of ball at Alexandria Sunday afternoon.
