RAIN BENEFICIAL TO
CROPS; NEW BARN
PARTLY WRECKED

Johnsonville = Although the
moisture was welcome, the wind
which accompanied Thursdays
storm did considerable damage in
this vicinity.
Trees and small buildings suf-
fered most but the barn under
construction on the farm occupied
by Henry Kauffenberg was dam
aged. At the Mas farm occupied
by William Rue, windows in the
home were broken and the hay
NOW door was pushed inward. A
bonfire which it was thought had
completely burned out was fan
ned by the wind and sparks blew
to a strawpile near the barn on
the Henning farm, occupied by
the Emil Rudenick family in
Waterbury. The straw ignited,
endangering the barn but the Wa
basso fire department succeeded
in checking the fire before seri-
Gus damage was done.
The sky was a yelloWish-grey
as a dust storm preceded the rain
and it was feared that the storm
might be much worse than it was.
