four occupants of the house was in
jured The bolt struck the roof, tore
the corner out clear 10 the ground and
almost demolished the kitchen. Mr..
Miller was in the room in the corner
of the building which sustained the
damage but was not touched. His

vicinity. While most of the cultivat-
ed land was still moist the sandy
tracts used for gardening were rapid
ly drying out, while the meadows. pas
lures and small grain were suffering.
Garden truck of all kinds especially
needed moisture. 1t is probable that
the rain will have some effect in help

it came too late to afford much relief.
