The blowout, due to weak place in.

LOSS BY LIGHTNING

September, as il to prove that she
could get off other August stunts be-
sides very hot weather, staged one OF
the worst electrical storms of the
season last Monday night, the only
one, in fact, of notable severity dur
ing the summer.
Four miles south of Monterey, ].
III. Mackey's big barn was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground
with practically all it's contents. The
fire occurred about 10 o'clock and
was discovered as soon as struck,
but, filled with hay and grain there
was no possibility Of extinguishing
the flames, those present bending
their efforts to remove few things,
such as wagons and harness, that
were in. reach.
Mr.. Mackey's unthreshed wheat
crop was in the barn, about 500
bushels, and he also had about 600
bushels of potatoes temporarily stor-
ed, which, in addition to a large part
of his 1920 hay crop went up in the
blaze and made the loss heavy one,
estimated at $4,000. He carried no
insurance on barn or contents, we
are informed.
On North Spruce street the light
ming cut one Of those singular capers
for which it is famed, charge hit
ting George Helmick's hog pen and

1n3 one in a sami-helplss. condition
from which it has not yet recovered.
Mr.. Helmick did not know of his loss
Until the following morning when
&c went to feed and found the hogs
as above stated. The dead one had
most of the hair singed off and dis
tinct bruise on one side.
Mr.. Bishop, who lives near by, was
in his yard at the time and was
slightly dazed by the flash, but not
injured in any way. He says the
charge resembled an explosion in the
air above him, and he knew nothing

than fifty yards distant ..
The storm followed period of in
tense heat for this season of the year,
and here in Monterey some hail ac-
comp2niod q downpour earlier in the
evening, while rain fell in torrents
and overlooked the street cutters.
The telephone lines east were put
out of commission at one place by
the destruction Of some poles.

up the outer strut of the plane to the
right upper wing. Once on top of the
upper wing the crowd below will b.
wondering what next" He will
then be seen to walk from the right
side of the plane across to the left
side. Here he will stage his most
difficult feat, that of standing on his
head while the plane is speeding
through the air.
The Imp" will then return to ita
airdrome to carry passengers until
the second act.
For the second performance the
Imp" will take off with Mr.. Owens
and circle above the city until II

scend to the airdrome.

future. They intend to make our fine
city their home for a number of years
until conditions in Europe become
more settled and satisfactory, wher
they will again return to their estate
in Holland. The Baron and Baroness
have travelled extensively, are highly
cultured and are connoisseurs of all
good things. They spent several days
in careful search and deliberation in
speeding Lakeland's most desirable

cision fell on Mr. Mershon's property.
which for beauty, arrangement, de-

leaves little to be desired. We are
proud of this new acquisition and to
