 Saw Lightning Strike.
 The younger MT. Hampstead was in such position that he could see the barn, and just after he heard the clock strike 12 blinding flash, accompanied py deafening roll of thunder, was followed by a burst of flame on the roof of the barn. Shouting to his fla ther, MT Hampstead ran across lots, dressing as he ran to the barn.
 Flames Spread Rapidly.
 The roof was enveIoped in flames before the owners could reach the barn. The side on which the horses were quartered was nearest. and to this Judscn Hampstead ran. He cut the halter of one horse and drove it into the open with flames cracking around him. The smoke was so in- tense that he could not run through the barn to where the cows were held in their stanchiOns, so had to run around the barn. The door was locked on the inside Ezra J.s Hempstead had arrived by this time and helped his son climb through a window to release the door.
 Let Eight Cows Loose.
 Then the young man, in blfnding. stif1ing smoke. made his way along a single row of stanchions, freeing eight COWS, which ran instinctively into the yard. The peril of trying to free more of the cows was realized by the father but not by the son, and the elder man had to prevent further attempt. In spite of the quick work of the men the fire gained on them so that they could only stand out of the flames and listen

DRIVER MALLETT ls
 RECOVERING AT HOSPITAL
x-Ray Photographs Showed That His
 Hip Was Cracked.

Eugene Mallett, the Waterbury driver who was injured at the county fair last Wednesday when his horse stumbled and fell on him after he was thrown from his sulkey. has a cracked hip and will be kept at the. Backus hospital for a month. Mallett, who is a well known driver on Southern New England racing circuits, will therefore not be able to get back on the track this fall. There is every prospect, however, that he will be as fit as ever by the time next season comes around. He is a driver of skill and judgment.
 The Xray photogra phs taken at the hospital showed how narrow an es- cape MT. Mallett had from a broken hip. Only a pound or two more on the neck of the bone would have frac tured it. AS it turned out, MT Mall lett is now doing nicely at the hos pital, was resting comfortably on Mon day and is recovering from the effects of his shaking up.
