The first real electrical display
or the season came to this section
last Saturday morning about 5
o'clock. There was vivid flash,
cannon-like report and the whole
town vert dark, the surchargc Of
elect ricity knocking out the emer-
genry arm Of the machinery ~ the
rover Company. The main part of
me lighting system was back in
snap" within half an hour, but some
lew residences were rendered light
less for half a day until certain line
repairs could be made. The main
force OF the fearful stroke was felt
Just out of town at the home OF
l'cnry w. Brandt. who suffered some
considerable damage in the way of
destroyed fence. Mr.. Brandt had
{ pasture OF about 1G acres fenced
H. with three strands Of barbed wire
'Ee lightning took the top strand
completely from around the pasture
me second strand from around about
nan the acreage, and all three
Strands from about e-third Of the
'ehclng. The wire was chopped into
%'nall sections ranging in length
from about s inches to three feet
All or the wire looks as though It
had gone through a fro. being badly
hnrnt. A 0-foot clothes line near
| me Brandt home was completely
burned up with the exception Of
.oout SIX inches at each end, where
inc wire was attached to posts. A
| shall flre was started in an outbuild-
lng' put Mr.. Brandt was quickly on
the spot with bucket Of water and
oxtnguishcd the blaze. The ends
or several slaves OF his water tank
were knocked out, the inch and a
ran boards being knocked off clean
