Monday a Fiery Day.

Monday was quite a day for fires and
lightning ia Bethel. % the early morning
the tenement house Of George L. bearing
near East Bethel was totally destroyed Il
was occupied by Henry Z. George, and 1t
is supposed to have caught fire from the
chimney.
During the storm in the afternoon much
lightning was let loose. The Camp brook
neighborhood seems to have been the cen
ter OF the electrical trouble. The house OF
Merritt A. Brink was struck hy the light
ming. No fire was set, but considerable
damage was done to the house. About B
D. m. lightning struck the barn of Frank
o. Roberts on the ridge pole. IL likewise
set 20 fire but made some kindling wood
in the barn and killed fine rooster. The
curious part Of its work here was that II
seems TO have followed the water pipe
leading from the house TO the barn under
ground and fused the pipe so that the
cellar Of Mr.. Roberts was flooded with
water.
Messrs. bearing, Roberts and Brink were
all insured IN the Vermont Mutual Fire
Insurance Co. at the agency Of Guy Wilson
