BARN BURNED BY LIGHTNING

During one of the most severe
electrical storms ever witnessed in
this section, the large barn owned
Inv Mr.. Geo. D. Dudley near High
town. was, on Saturday night
struck by lightning and with its
contents, entirely consumed. The
barn was struck between l and 2
o'clock, and was all ablaze before
the family made the discovery,
resulting in the loss of everything
it contained. About 100 bushels
of rye, and perhaps half as much
wheat, all of the farming imple-
ments and machinery, harness and
several vehicles were consumed.
We have heard no estimate CT
the loss, but it is a heavy one.
There was an insurance of ST.
900 on the building.
The storm was SO terrible in its
severity that many persons were
up at the time, and the tremend-
GUS glare from the fire was plainly
visible against the angry storm
clouds and above the crest of the
mountains, some of those who wit
messed it from the neighboring val
legs supposing it to be peculiar
electrical freak or display.
The storm seems to have been
pretty general, and damage, more
or less serious, was reported from
other sections. Lower down the
Hightown valley, several trees were
struck, and Mr.. John Swecker had
one sheep killed.
At Durbin the residence OF DR..
Hull was struck, the chimney torn
down, and a corner of the house
splintered, but no one was hurt.
1t was a storm the like of which
seldom visits the mountains of Vir-
ginia, and was the principal topic
of conversation on the following
morning.

DAVID G. HlNER DEAD

Mr.. David Hiner, to whose illness
we have several times referred IN
these columns, died Saturday night
at nine o'clock, at his home near
Dunlevie in West Virginia.
He had been in declining health
for something like twelve months,
during which time he visited hos
pital and consulted specialists IN
vain, receiving only temporary re-
lief from his suffering.
Mr.. Hiner was born at Monterey
in 1874, and was therefore 80 years
of age. He was son of Mr., and
Mrs. G. j. Hiner, whose home is
lust west of town, and who survive
him. He is also survived by a
wife and two small children; also
two brothers, Messrs. Tate and
Jesse Hiner, and one sister, Miss
Elsie.
Mr.. Hiner made his home here
until manhood, since which time
he has been a resident of West
Virginia. He was of generous dis
position, kind hearted and consld-
crate in his relations with others,
and he made friends wherever he
lived. He is remembered here as
a dutiful son, his devotion to his
mother being a marked character
istic of his life.
Davie never seemed to forget
that "a boys best friend is his
mother" and it was she who, with
the faithful, grief-stricken wife,
stood by his bedside during the
long weeks of suffering preceding
his death.
The remains were brought to
Monterey for burial, the funeral
taking place from the home of his
parents on Monday morning, III
o'clock, Rev. C. L. Potter conduct
ing the service.
Messrs. C. w. Trimble, Homer
Stephenson, R. B. Campbell, j. S.
Gibson, H. G. Lunsford and Don
Sullenberger, 6 of his former school
mates and associates, acted as pail
bearers.

Mr.. H. P. Patterson, Clerk of the
Monterey District School Board, is
about finishing the census of school
children in his district, and SIM
liar work has been going on in the
other districts. If, by accident,
any family has been overlooked,
the fact should be reported at once.
This list is the basis of apportlon-
ment of public funds, and not a
child should be omitted.
AS was mentioned in the Recor-
der a few weeks since, it is expect
ed that the history of Highland will
be taken up in good earnest. 1t
will be a while, however, before the
gentleman who is to do the work
can be disengaged from his present
task. In the meantime it will be
an excellent thing if each and every
person of mature age in this coun-
| ty would refresh his or her memory
as to past local events of all kinds.
It will also be good plan to look
up old family records and other
papers that may be of value. You
will then know where they are, and
lif the compiler of the history calls
on YOU or writes you, you can then
give him better results. Even II
he should miss you write him any
wav. You may be able to tell him
something that no one else can.

DIR. CRIPPEN
Is HELD
For Murder Of His Wife
Miss Leneve AC-
COmpIiCe

London, Sept 22.-Dr. II. H. Grip
pen and his typist, Ethel Glare Lee
Neve, were formally committed for
trial for the murder of the formers
wife, Cora Belle Crippen, the American
actress, who WAS known on the stage
as Belle Ellemore. The doctor is
charged as the principal and his com
panion as an accessory after the fact.
For some time the magistrate in the
Bow street police court has been hear
ing the evidence offered BY the crown
and at the conclusion of these prelimi-
nary proceedings announced that he
would hold crippen on the capital
charge and without expressing an
opinion on the evidence against Miss
LeNeve. added that he felt that it was
sufficient for him to commit her for
trial as an accessory after the fact.
When the prosecution had concluded
the magistrate proposed TO set aside
another day on which Solicitor Arthur
Newton, who is representing both Of
The accused, might make any state
ment he wished on behalf OF the de-
fense. Mr.. Newton, however. after say
ing a few words in favor of Miss Le-
Vene who, he contended, had not been
proven guilty, said that he would re-
serve his defense Of Crippen until the
trial proper was held.
