 Lightning struck tree near the barn on East Main street Tuesday afternoon, tearing part of the bark off the trunk of the tree On Chestnut Hill, on parts of Crow Hill and along the road to Monson, many trees were blown down. Sever Il people claimed to have seen what | to be cyclone cloud, | yhirling, white, cone shaped cloud, | close to the earth, coming | rom the direction of Somers, passing o the west of West Stafford, then go- ng north when it reached Orcutts. The reports of trees torn up over his area leave little doubt but it was
 small cyclone.
 Next Mondays two games with | Ionson should, from all appearances, ,e the most interesting baseball affair | hat the local team has taken part in | his year. Stafford was badly defeat | ed in two games with this team on The Fourth partly because the team was off form, but in the main because the locals had taken little trouble to the team by the use of outside talent while great pains had been taken to make Monson team an formidable one for that day. No doubt they will take the same or even greater pains to make their team an almost invincible one for Labor Day. But Stafford's has no fear for the result of the coming frays being confident that it has enough tricks up it's sleeve, as the saying goes, to cop both the morning and afternoon pots. The morning game will be played in Keefe's Plains and the afternoon tilt will take place in Monson.
