TIE LIGHTNING u,z,pn.

The annual rate OF mortality from
lightning strokes in the United states
is about Ave in one million of the popu.
lation 1t is observed that city dwell
ers are more secure In thunderstorm
than those who live in the country.
Casualties supply fresh warning
against having windows open when
the lightning Is playing Shelter under
trees is very dangerous. The Prov!-
dence Journal says that the safest
place during an electric discharge
seems TO be trolley car. Tho barbed
wire fence is the source OF greatest
danger. and it carries and catches light
ming easily. Shelter under oak trees
is to be avoided. for the records show
that they are the trees most frequently
struck. Barns arc said to be extra
hazardous unless they are furnished
with lightning rods.

they stayed in the Office until the
storm was over, shutting and locking

The full force of the gale, appar-
emily, struck the property of P. ID.

At the l.. S. Bowles farm, about
six miles southwest of Owosso, a
good sized barn used to house car
riages and the horses on the farm,
was picked up and hurled against the
larger barn, 20 feet away. The lat
ter structure was moved several in
ches on its foundation and owing to
it's great weight, will require strenu-
Gus efforts to replace. A tool shed
on the Bowles farm was also blown
down, crumbling like pasteboard.
On the Schultz farm, nearby, the
tall windmill was blown over and
windows in the house were smashed
A mammoth frame barn on one of
the Weidman farms in the same
neighborhood was flattened by the
wind and is a total loss. On another
farm owned by Mr.. Weidman, not
far from the others, big barn was
reduced to a pile of broken lumber
and its contents were buried under
the debris. 1t cannot be learned
whether or not any animals lost their
lives in the wreckage. Charles Gill
na. the tenant on the farm, has adj
vertised an auction sale at the place,
having decided to move to town.
Aaron Dietrich's farm, a mile
south of the West Branch school
house, was in the path of the storm,
and Monday presents a sad appear
ance. A large patch of shingles we're
torn from the roof and scattered
over the yard, while the big barn lost
its roof entirely. The loss is estima-
ted at $1,000.

the David Lucas farm.
Practically every foot of rail fence
in the township was blown over, the
rails being swept some distance in
many instances and great number
broken by the force of the gale.
The Osburn farm near the north
east city limits, was chosen as an
other point for queer pranks by the
cyclone. At this place there were
three barns directly in the path of
the wind. and all close together. The
wind swept downward over the
three, sent the middle one crashing
to the ground and hardly damaged
| the other two.

Death of Mrs. Nancy Gibbons

Mrs. Nancy Gibbons, aged 100
years, died at the home of her son,
VIM. Gibbons in New Haven town
ship, Saturday night of old age.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day morning at o'clock at st. Paul's
Catholic church, Rev. FIR. p. j.

Mrs. Gibbons was born in Ireland.
For the last few years she has made

William.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-11-17

William f. Byerly, the Ann Ar
Dor engineer, was taking a freight
train out just at the time the cyclone
arrived. He had proceeded as far
west as Shiawassee street, when he
stopped his train because of the poles
trees and wires across the tracks.
Now Buck knew that the Grand
Trunk through freight that arrives
here about that time was due, and
the thought no sooner entered his
head than he heard the engine whist
lie some distance outside Of Owosso.
Several box cars had been overturned
on the Ann Arbor and Byerly con-
cluded that the same had occurred
on the Grand Trunk, especially in
the vicinity of the Estey plant. So
he seized a red lantern off his engine
and ran a block to the Grand Trunk
crossing on Shiawassee street and
then dashed at top speed up the
tracks, toward the depot, in time to
flag the train before it reached the
danger zone. The train doesn't stop
in Owosso and as a general rule goes
through here at a 35-miles-an-hour
clip. 1t was found that there were
two trainmen besides the engineer
and firemen in the cab Of the engine
and to run through the Grand Trunk
yards at the rate the train was going
would have meant serious injury or
Gcath to the men,"
Anyone who saw the condition Of
the Grand Trunk yards between Ced-
ar and Shiawassee street, immedi-
ately after the storm struck Satur-
day night, will agree with the relator
Of the above story that for train to
proceed through there at any speed
at all would have been extremely haZ-
ardous for the engine and train crew
A number of box cars on the sidings
were overturned, portions of them
falling on the main line rails and tall
trees on the south side of the tracks.

also fallen across the main line as
