BIG BARN BURNED.
Expensive Structure at Barre Struck by
Lightning and Destroyed,

Expensive Structure at Barre Struck by
Lightning and Destroyed,
Barre, June 14-The expensive farm
barn of Charles N. Winship, about two
miles west of the common, was struck
by lightning about o'clock this after
noon and burned together with about
so tons of hay and large lot of farm
tools. This barn was built about three
years ago to replace one that had been
struck by lightning and burned on the
same spot.
1t was a model structure with ca
pacity of II horses and rs cows, with
hay and grain to correspond. 1t had
been visited by farmers and other per-
sons from other towns, who came to in
spect its construction.
Four cows which were in the barn
when it was struck were removed safe
ly, but the piggery near by was entire
ly destroyed, together with four hogs.
The farm house, which is situated near
the barn, was saved only by hard
fight. A large number of people from
the village went to the fire and did all
possible to save the property. The loss
on barn and contents is about $4,000,
covered by insurance.

William Lapeer has returned To Rich
land, S. d., to die of leprosy. which. ii
is feared. he contracted while serving
with his regiment in the Philippines.
Lapeer is the 22-year-old son of n
Union county farmer, and went TO Ma
Mia with one of the first assignments
of troops. While seeing the sights soon
after his arrival there, he gave offense
TO native aristocrat whom he met in a
drinking resort. The latter's friends
succeeded in separating Lapeer from
his friends, piled him with drugged
liquor, and carried his unconscious
form to a house in the native quarter.
where blood from a leper was injected
into vein in his arm. Then he was
released.
When he realized what had been done
to him, Lapeer was so Mortified that he
nearly died from nervous shock. He
fell into n violent fever, and had to be
sent home. Local physicians do not
pretend to say what will be the result
of the treatment to which he was sub
jected, as they do not know whether
leprosy can be so transmitted. In any
case, they think it will he several
months before the disease will manifest
itself. The patient would be sent to

A GOOD DEED COMES HOME TO

We dashed through the streets of BIZ
dache, arousing the village dogs, asleep
In the yellow sunlight, to a chorus of
disapprobation. About dozen sought
to revenge their disturbed slumbers,
and, following the horses, snapped
viciously at their heels; but we soon
distanced them. and. fiinging a curse or
so after us in dog language, they gave
up the pursuit and returned to blink
away the afternoon. Ii was my inten-
tion TO keep to the right of Ivry, and,
after crossing the Eure, head straight
for Paris. which / would enter either
by way of Versailles or ST. Germans, il
mattered little what road. and there
was plenty of time to decide.
For league or so we galloped along
the undulating ground which sloped to-
ward the ford near Ely; but as we be-
gan TO approach the river, the country,
studded with apple orchards and trim
with hedgerows of holly and hawthorn,
broke into a wild and rugged moorland.
intersected by ravines, whose depths
were concealed by a tnll underground
of Christ's thorn and hornbeam. whilst
beyond this. in russet, in somber greens,
and grays that faded into absolute blue,
stretched the forests and woods of Anet
and Croth-Sorel.
As We slid. rather than rode. down
one of these banks. my horse cast q
| shoe. and this put a stop to any fur
Their hard riding, until the mishap could
be repaired.N
