Special to review:
Burleson, Tex., July 25.--At about 2:45 o'clock this afternoon lightning struck the barn belonging to Mr. A. G. Borah, a well known citizen, and set it on fire. Mr. Borah was asleep, at the time and when awakened he sprang up and ran to the barn, where he dropped dead. As Mr. Borah fell Mr. Walter Chisenhall, who was standing near, caught him in his arms just as he expired.
The barn, with its contents, was completely destroyed with a total loss of about $700. So far as is known no other damage was done by lightning in this locality.
Mr. Borah had resided here for fifteen or twenty years and was well known throughout his section. The remains will be embalmed and held awaiting the arrival of relatives from Oklahoma, St. Louis, Mo., and other points.
One and a half inches of rain fell here this afternoon and will be of great benefit to the crops.
