LARGE BARN FIRED BY
LIGHTNING ANODESTROYED
1t Was the Property Of Mr.. Jonas
GIotfeItY al MCHenry.
THE CONTENTS WERE CONSUMED.
Including Wagons, Sixty Tons of
Hay, Harness and Other Property
Total Insurance Was $1,000.

Last Thursday evening about eight
O'Clock the large frame barn of Mr.
Jonas Glotfelty, located on his farm
near McHenry, this county, was struck
by bolt of lightning and the fire which
followed completely destroyed the build
ing with all its contents, including
about sixty tons of hay which had just
been stored in the barn, three farm
wagons, harness, farming implements
of all kinds, straw and small quantity
of oats.
The barn was practically new, Mr..
Glotfelty having expended about one
thousand dollars but two years ago in
enlarging and improving it. It's dimen-
siOns were 60X90 feet with shed six
teen feet wide and running the entire
length Of the barn, which was erected
for the purpose of affording shelter to
sheep and other stock during stormy
weather.
At the time of the fire but two horses
were in the stable, which was loca ted
in the basement of the building. The
animals were driven from the barn and
saved, and although Mr.. Glotfelty and
his sons were upon the ground almost
as soon as the fire originated, it burned
so rapidly and SO fercely that they were
unable to save any other property than
the3horses.
II the granary standing near the barn
was stored about four hundred bushels
of wheat which had just been threshed.
The wind prevailing was favorable and
this building was not burned.
Mr.. GlotfeIty carried insurance to the
amount Of $1,000 on his barn and $500 on
the crop of hay in the mutual or farm
n company of this county.
.sir. Glotfelty is one of Garrett coun-
tvs most progressive farmers and he
will begin the reerection of the burned
building at once.

THE MOST HEINOus
Of ALL CRIMES
Is That Alleged Against Porter Buck.
harmon and Lewis Phillips.
Now in Iai!.
HANGING MAY BE The PENALTY.
II Not That, Then Penitentiary for
Life-Erticed From Home and As
saulted Two Thirteen Year Old
Girls.

OF all crimes on the calendar that
charged against two young men of
Bloomington, who are now in iail in
Oakland, is probably the most abhor-
rent and certainly the greatest that can
be committed. At least the statutes of
Maryland treat it as such for the ex-
IRENE penalty is prescribed that of
death or the penitentiary for life in
case verdict Of guilty is found.
The two men in custody who are thus
charged are Porter Buckhannon, aged
% years, Of Bloomington, this county,
and Lewis Phillips, aged Is years, of
Homecoming, Allegany county.
These men have been engaged as
miners at Bloomington and on Friday,
so it has been related, Buckhannon was
passing the home of Joseph Harvey at
Bloomington when he was attracted by
the cries of Harvey's daughter Pearl,
aged thirteen years, who was being
chastised by her mother. Buckhannon
rushed into the honse, knocked Mrs.
Harvey down and kicked her in the face.
He then told the girl to leave and 90
with him. This she consented to do but
remained at her home until later in the
evening when in company with Garry
Conrad, another girl Of the same age.
and daughter of Henry E. Conrad, also
miner, they left Bloomington in com
pany with Buckhannon and Philips, who
had been made acquainted with the ar
rangement, and went to an old unoccu-
pied house located at the top Of Ever
ett's tunnel, four miles west of Bloom.
ington, arriving there just before mid
night, The men and girls were located
the next day when Mr.. Harvey had a
warrant issued for their arrest which
was placed in Sheriff Lees hands fo1
execution, who, in company with officer
Joseph H. White and posse Of citizens
of Bloomington, went to the spot Satur,
day night or Sunday morning just after
midnight. Access to the building was
easily obtained and the men and
girls found in a room in the upper story
of the house where they were captured
without trouble. The journey up the
mountain side by the officers and posse
was hazardous in the extreme, over
rocks and logs without light and in a
drilling rain. Immediately after the
capture was made the officers and then

the grounds where the carnival Of
slaughter was to be held under the
auspices Of the boy. She took front
seat at the gathering and was highly
amused when the rat was turned loose
by the boy and the dog set upon it. First
the rat ran one way and then another,
but the coy maiden still wore the silly
grin. Affairs took a sudden turn The
rat made dosh straight for her shoes
and she made grab for the rat Mr.
Rat was cOrnered somewhere between
her shoe tops and her belt After a
vigorous shaking the rodent was
compelled to let go of the dress and
make his escape in some other way. A
man with heavy boots on gave the rat a
kick as it hit the sidewalk and the dog
shook the life out of it. The boy gave
a yell Of delight, the man with the boots
took chew of tobacco, the dog started
