A heavy thunder storm passed over Globe, Thursday night, and for upwards of an hour and a half the rainfall was copious and the lightning almost incessant, followed by heavy thunder claps. Yesterday morning Mr. E. J. Cook, who occupied a room in an adobe house on Dr. Largent's premises, stated that he believed the house had been struck by lightning, and upon examination, sure enough, the evidence of the lightning's work was visible. The bolt struck the roof at the east end of the building and passed down the planks forming the east wall, and into the ground, without doing much damage. The shock also cracked the adobe wall in the adjoining room where Mr. Cook slept.
