Lightning struck the gasoline tank at the filling station of Snider Priddy, four miles east of Danbury Thursday afternoon, during an electrical storm. Mr. Priddy and his wife and Mrs. Charlie Reid, who were in the garage nearby, were severely shocked and a physician had to be called for one of the ladies. Several automobiles standing near the gas tank were also said to have been hit. Fortunately the gasoline in the big tank was not ignited by the lighting.
