Jackson Argus – Week Of May 28, 1896 May 28, 1896
On Thursday afternoon a negro boy, a mule and a hog were killed by lightning on
the farm of W. L. Wilder, this county.   The mule was tied to a tree near the
house in which the negro boy had taken refuge.  From the tree a clothes wire was
connected to the house and it is supposed that the lightning which struck the
tree got into the house from the wire.   The hog was in a pen under the tree.
