Friday, June 10, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 24 Killed by Lightning As the result of a bolt of lightning Saturday evening at Frugality, one man was killed and two others seriously injured. Leo Warm, Jr., Joseph Warm, his brother, and Leo Warm, Sr., uncle of the two younger men were on their way from their home to the company store when a heavy electric storm came up. To escape the rain they took shelter under a porch of the school house. While there, the building was struck by lightning and badly shattered a large section of the roof, being torn off, and the plastering and the weather boarding loosened. The electric current passed on through the building and encountered the three men. Leo Warm, Jr., was instantly killed and his two companions badly hurt, although it is now believed they will recover. The alarm was given by some passers-by who chanced to observe the electric stroke and the dead and injured men were at once taken to their home and surgical aid summoned. Leo Warm, Jr., aged 22, was found to be beyond the help of the surgeon. Joseph Warm, aged 35, and Leo Warm, Sr., aged 48, were believed to be in a precarious condition and the latter manifested no signs of returning consciousness for at least a half hour after he had been taken home. They are much improved, however, and it is now thought they will recover. A singular circumstance in this connection is that the father of young Leo Warm died on May 22, and his mother, a week later, May 29. Thus three of them have passed away within two weeks. Leo Warm, Jr., was unmarred; his brother, Joseph, has a wife and several children.
