During the thunder storm which passed over Butler about o'clock Tuesday evening, Newton McKee, aged about 26 years, was struck by a. bolt of lightning and instantly killed. The accident happened at the home of his father, J. J. McKee, about two miles @ little southeast of Butler, and was witnessed by the father and Clyde Voris, who were within six or eight feet of the young man when struck dead. The three had just returned from putting their teams away in the barn when the storm came up. Mr. \cKee took a seat on the man- ger and young Voris was standing near him. Newton stepped to the door, six or eight feet from them to look out and at this instant a terrific péal of thun- der and a blinding flash of lightning and the young man dropped dead at the feet of his father. The lightning struck the barn, passed down and struck the deceased equare on top of the head, passed through his body and tore his shoes from his feet. The crown of a straw hat which he had on his head was burnt completely off leaving only the rim. Mr. McKee Carried his son into the lot and latd him on the ground hop- ing that the rain might revive him, but death was instantaneous. Newton McKee was one of the best liked and most popular young men in the nelghborhood in which he re- sided.
