Lightning Busy in the Village

During the thunder storm Thurs
day afternoon stray bolt of lighting
struck G e. Woodruff's barn on
Pleasant street, knocking down a
man and mare, damaging wood
work little, putting electric lights
out of commission, the performance
beginning with a stunning report
which startled the whole village and
seemed to threaten that particular
section with total annihilation.
The bolt hit the rear end of the
building a few feet from the ground,
leaving ragged hole, streaked
along above the heads of the horses
in the stable and passed out over an
electric wire to garage nearby,
thence disappearing harmlessly down
water pipe. Frank Johnson, H.
M. Stevens chauffeur, who was in
the building, was much surprised
but unhurt.
Fay Parkhurst, who is employed
by Mr.. Woodruff, had just left the
stable and was in the carriage room
when the fireworks opened up. He
was thrown to the floor, stunned for
few seconds, but arose uninjured
The mare got worse shock and was
apparently in some pain for an hour
or more, but was ready for her
rations at supper time, all right.
Electric lights were put out Of
business in Mr.. Woodruff's house
and also at G.. ii. Mass neighboring
place.
Lightning hit more lightly in
other parts of the village, but with
out much regard for safety and
saneness. A pole near the Office
building at G.. w. Marbles factory,
burned out a transformer, cutting
off lights at Mr.. Marbles and other
nearby houses, and at J. G. Dana's,
on the hill. At L. L. Eaton's
house, on the same street, tele-
phone instrument was burned out.
