 Work on that well has been delayed because of the serious illness of Driller Meyers. who is in the Benevolent hos pital now.

| The fine new barn of Mr.. Wade H
Wright living3 miles north Of Wood
stock, was struck by lightning Friday
morning at ten O'Clock, and with most
OF fhe contents was entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Wright, his three children and
John Barr were in the barn at the time.
They first saved the children, then the
horses and other live stock, but the
entire wheat crop OF about two hundred
bushels a large amount OF hay, and
other feed were lost. Mr. Wright esti-
mates his loss at $1SO0.00
The residence which was only a few
yards away was saved by the quick
work OF the family and neighoors. The
barn was an entire mass of flames two
minutes after it was struck, and in five
minutes was burned to the ground.
The barn and silo were insured in
the Shenandoah Farmers Home Mutual
Insurance Company and the contents in
the AeJna, represented by Magluder
Brothers, but the insurance will 10y no
means cover the loss; Mr.. Wright is
an industrious progressive farmer and
both he ana Mrs Wright have many
sympathetic friends in this section as
was attested in substantial way by the
presentation Of q purse OF $500, by the
