Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - August 27, 1904 HORSE BADLY HURT AT SOUDERTON While Abraham, son of Frank LANDIS, had his horse tied in front of SOUDER & CROUTHAMEL's building, at Souderton, the animal took fright and started to run away, but was caught in time, thus avoiding a more serious accident. The horse while struggling to free himself, came in contact with the shaft and one side of the same penetrated the horse on the side, making an ugly flesh wound, about seven inches deep. Dr. A.Z. KEELER, of Telford, was called and gave timely assistance. LIGHTNING BREAKS BULL'S LEG During a severe rainstorm which swept over the northern part of Berks county, Monday night, the barn of Daniel SAUL, at Shoemakersville, was struck by lightning and consumed, together with its contents, including the season's crops. The bolt first struck a walnut tree near the dwelling, glanced off, breaking the leg of a bull in the yard, and then entered the barn. The loss is $4000 partly insured. WOMAN FELL AND BROKE HER ARM Mrs. Mahlon KLINE, of near Earlington, met with a serious accident last Thursday. She was assisting her husband at the barn, and forgetting something in the house, hurried back, and upon entering stumbled and fell, hitting her arm on the marble slab at the door. Upon examination it was found that the left fore-arm near the wrist was broken. Dr. V.Z. KEELOR, of Harleysville, was called and set the fractured limb. RAISED LARGE TOMATOES Mrs. Jacob B. HIESTAND, of Hereford, raised some exceptionally large tomatoes. Several of the largest were measured.
