During the electrical and rain storm of Tuesday morning, Tom Elliott, who resides west of town, was knocked down by a bolt of lightning which struck the Carancahua church. Mr. Elliott and Mr. Plant and his brother-in-law, who were working on the road nearby noticed the approaching storm and sought shelter in the church. As it was near the noon hour they decided to eat their lunch and Mr. Elliott stepped to the window to wash his hands from the dripping eaves when the crash came and he was knocked to the floor unconscious. His companions, who were only a few feet away, were not injured and they fearing the building was on fire as the room was full of smoke, rushed with him out doors and laid him on the ground. Some passers-by brought Mr. Elliott to town and he was taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Stillman Winfield, where medical aid was administered, and after some hours he began to recover from the effects. He is now doing as well as could be expected. Luckily no bones were broken. We have not learned the extent of the damage done to the church.
