STOCK DESTROYED WHEN BOLT
LIGHTNING FIRES DOVER BARN
FIRST ELECTRIC STORM OF SEA
SON PASSES OVER SMYRNA
No Damage Was Done at Smyrna But
Below Dover the Cooper & Terry
Farm Was Visited and Damaged

Smyrna-Dover and vicinities were
visited by two electric storms Sunday
afternoon and night, the first severe
electric storms of the season. Both
were accompanied in Smyrna by
dOwn-pour of rain. There were sew
eral severe flashes of lightning and
hard peals of thunder. At Dover and
below it was more severe and left
wreckage and ruin in its path. Be
tween five and six o'clock there was a
heavy wind and rain storm with some
lightning and thunder. 1t cleared off,
however, and by seven o'clock the
skies were clear and the stars shining
Another and more severe storm came
up shortly before II o'clock, this one
being more severe, with lightning and
thunder. 1t was during this storm
that lightning struck a barn on the
Cooper and Terry farm just south of
Dover on the Dover-Camden road, to-
tally destroying the barn and contents
including a pair of mules, one COW
and one horse and five tons of hay.
The tenant, Fred Gray, was visiting
neighbors on the William Taylor farm
near the camp meeting woods over a
mile from his farm and had started
home when he saw the blaze which
seemed to be in the direction of his
home and he suspected that it might
be his chicken brooder, but on arriv-
ing at his home, found it to be the
barn. The fire spread so rapidly that
it was impossible to get inside the
barn to save anything and although
the Robbins Hose Company, of Dover
responded, they could save nothing Of
the burning building, giving their at
tention to the adjoining buildings anc
the house. Gray had no insurance OF
his stock.

CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING
Many Applicants are Going in for En-

Many Applicants are Going in for En-
rOllment to Summer Training Camps
With almost one thousand youths
of New Jersey and Delaware already
accepted for the Plattsburg citizens
camps, enrolment in the Second
Army Corps Area has more than
doubled the figure reached at this
time last year, Major-General Charles
P. Summerall has just announced to-
day at Governors Island following a
report of Reserve officers of the 18th
New Jersey Division who have volun-
teered to help fill the c. NJ. I. c..
quota for their home localities. This
is the largest number of boys yet en-
rolled from New Jersey and Delaware
and completes more than sixty per
cent. of the vacancies allotted to the
18th Division sector. From the total
of six thousand candidates authorized
the Second Corps Area, 1,5O0 have
been set aside by General Summerall
as the quota for the 18th Division
area, which includes all counties in
the states of New Jersey and Della
ware. Young men between II and "a
who measure up to the mental and
physical standards set by the Wan
Department are urged by General
Summerall to apply for enrolment
before May 25, the new date now set
for the closing of the campaign. Ow-
ing to the popularity of the Platts-
burg Camp site, there are to be two
encampments this year, one opening
July 1, and the other August 3. BOtf
will continue in operation thirty days
Prof. C. w. w. Schantz is receiving

FIRE ENGINE TO TWO FIRES
One to Save Woods of J. w. Ryan and
Other to Stable of Bill Collins

Owing to the prompt response Of
the Smyrna chemical engine, a great
loss of valuable timber was prevented
at noon Thursday on the old VanPelt
farm near Greenspring. The fire was
on the farm of J. w. Ryan, an en-
gineer on the railroad, and was start
ed by a workman who threw a lighted
match on the ground after lighting
his pipe. A pile of dry brushwood
caught and the fire spread and had
assumed alarming proportions when
the engine arrived The woods eX-
tends on both sides of the road for
several miles, and if the fire had got
ten a headway it would have been a
difficult matter to get it under control
with a stiff wind blowing, and the loss
would have been very heavy.-There
was another fire at the livery stable
of William H. Collins, on south Main
Street, Friday morning, but was eX-
tinguished by the Smyrna Fire Com
pany before any serious damage was
done. 1t was due to a defective fiue.
