BARN BURNED.

Lightning Destroys Another Barn Just
North of the City Limits.
The first damage in Canton by lightning
came last evening when the barn belong
ing to David Aungst on Market street near
the city limits was struck by bolt and
burned to the ground. The fre depart
ment was not called out. Mr.. Aungst
saved his two horses, COW, wagons and
some other things, but his hay and feed
were lost. s4oo will likely cover the loss.
This is the second barn in that neighbor-
hood that has been destroyed by lightning
recently. The other being just across the
road on the old Ben Williams farm.
When the fire started last night, Mr..
Aungst was in bed. His two daughters
rushed braveIy TO the barn and got the
two horses out, though the stalls were then
blazing furiously. All the farming imple-
ments, hay tools, etc., were consumed,
making a loss of about $500. The barn
was insured for 1875 and its contents for
SIPS in The Mutual of Plain and jackson
townships.

ties has only plurality Of votes cast. 1t
