During the severe electrical storm oi
"Wednesday afternoon the lightning
struck the large farm barn of Henry D
Hammond just east Of this village. The
hay and fire Immediately broke ouI
through the cupola and spread rapidly
through the entire structure. Mr.. Ham.
mond succeeded in getting out bis three
horses but the fine barn with the hay anG
farming machinery and tools and eight
hogs was consumed. Fortunately his
cattle were in the pasture at the time,
Mr.. Strout, who had been after them
having been unable to find them and was
on his way back TO report to Mr.. Ham
mond when the barn was struck: Many
neighbors and those from this village
went quickly to assist aud only
by the best Of work by vol
unteer bucket brigade was Mr.. Ham
mond's fine residence saved. Most
of the household goods were moved out.
The barn was modern structure hun.
dred feet long with wing about fifty
feet in length and had within two years
been enlarged and greatly modernized SO
that il was in most excellent condition
and considered one of the best farm
structures in town. Mr.. Hammond's
loss will approximate 1000, less insur.
ance on the barn of 81 1900, there being
no insurance on the hay and farming
tools. 1t is probable that construction
