DEATH'S BONDS BROKEN.
Lightning Op a Childs Casket and
the Little One Speaks.
Larned, Kan., August 13. At the
town ot Hanston, twenty miles west of
here, the 6 -year-daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel McPrease died, or seemed
to die, Sunday morning. Funeral ser
vices took place yesterday. On the
way to the cemetery the' metallic cas
ket was struck by a bolt of lightning,,
and split open. Thereupon, to the
amazement and consternation of the
funeral party, the child sat up and
called fur her mother. The horses
were knocked down, but no other dam
age was done. The little giri is in a
fair way to recovery. It is believed
she was ic a cataleptic state, from
which thd shock of lightning aroused
her.
People living in the vicinity of Han
ston, who were in the funeral proces
sion, tell many strange stories in con
nection with the oocurenoe. Some of
tbem say that just prior to the flash
of lightning, a peculiarly soft, mellow
light appeared in the sky, which was
so pronounced ia its difference from
sunlight as to attract attention and oc
casion comment, and that while the
peculiar atmospheric or light condi-
lightuing reviled their attention upon
