NEW CASTLE, June % There was a
variety of raging elements In this
neighborhood last evening An electric
storm set in at 40 and after deafeninq
peals Of thunder following some binding
flashes Of lightning, sheets Of water fell
for half an hour.
During the storm, hail came and hall
stones at large as hazelnuts AMI peas
began to fall with continuous whiz
Just outside and below New Castle the
lightning was especially severe. Mrs
Allison Rittenhouse, the wife OF well
known fruit grower at State Road, was
moving about In room where a
telephone instrument had been placed
She was right beside the telephone when
crash came and the next thing she
knew physician was leaning over her ia
her room with anxious friends al about
her. Mrs. Rlttenhouse had been struck
by this streak of lightning which
demolished the telephone instrument
and portion OF the house. Her condi !.
tion to day Is serious but not necessarily
dangerous
George A Whitfield and David Heyd,
OF State Road, hurried across to the
Rittenhouse home about the same time,
that being the post Office No sooner
had they started from Mr.. Whitheld's
office than streak Of lightning pierced
the heart OF the horse and struck the
wagon. Mr.. Heyd valued the animal at
$l75, and only recently refused 1926 In
ch fos II. A
both gentlemen declared that II felt ust
like blow on the head with some blunt
instrument.
Frank Moore is the tenant OF Model
farm OF the New Castle Common and
when the fierce peal and crash came at
4 Al he knew that something on his
place had been struck Hurrying out In
the storm he saw that a corner OF his
barn had been knocked ont but the
water coming down ia sheets at that
time prevented confagration One
end Of the barn looks like a wreck.
