Lightning Hits Tower of Catawba College

Salisbury, Dec. 6—Lightning hit the tower on the main building of Catawba College during a thunderstorm that swept over the city about 6 o’clock Saturday morning, doing damage of approximately $500. Part of the dislodged stonework of the tower crashed through the third floor on the second floor into a room adjoining that of Rev. Shuford Peeler, dean of the college, but no one was hurt.
