fury of the storm, ran out to bolt the
doors of his barn.
When they started to return to their
house they found it obliterated with
the exception Of the partition of the
room in which they were sleeping.
The youngsters were unhurt and
undisturbed by the storm. One was
blown to the floor, but the other con-
tinued its slumbers. AS Gorsurch
picked the child from the floor it
sleepily remarked: Dad, fell out of
bed, didn't -"
All of those injured in Lightsville
are reported to be recovering rapidly.

pieces will be found scattered on the
floor on the opposite side from which
