PRESCOTT BU|LD|NGS.k
FIRED BY LIGHTNING
s,Fy.1.sA

Fire set by lightning at about 4
o'clock Wednesday afternoon destroyed
the farm buildings of George A. Prescott
two miles east of Augusta on the Belfast
road. The dwelling was saved though
only about 30 feet distant from the big
barn which was totally destroyed. The
dwelling was scorched but not otherwise
damaged
The terrific electrical storm Of Wednes-
day had almost passed over when the
bolt ripped into the barn, which contain
ed Is tons of old hay and all this sea-
sons crop. The flames worked into the
structure so quickly that Mr.. Prescott
was able to save only his horses. He
lost in addition to the hay all his farm
tools and miscellaneous articles stored
in the barn. There was no livestock In
the barn at the time the bolt struck ex-
cept the horses. A small stable was also
burned.
Fearing that the dwelling could not
possibly be saved, Mr.. Prescott with the
willing aid of his neighbors removed
all the furniture from it and most of it
was set down in a ploughed fed. so that
much damage to his household goods re-
suited indirectly from the misfortune of
the fire. The barn was a large one about
50 feet long. The loss is estimated at
$500, partially covered by insurance.
