ELECTRIC STORM
HITS N. LEWISBURG,
KNOCKS OUT POWER
5 Fires Occur In
Half-Hour; MarYsville
Without Lights 2 Hours

One of the severest electrical
storms ever to strike in this ter
ritory hit the vicinity between
West Liberty and North Lewis
burg, Tuesday afternoon, causing
several fires there and knocking
out electric light services in Ma
rysville.
r. w. Bigler, manager of the
Dayton Power & Light co. here,
said a bolt of lightning hit his
company's old supply line just
west of North Lewisburg, about
1870 p. m. and knocked out SER
vice on all Dayton Power lines
east of that point. 1t was $3.50 p.
m. before emergency repairs
could be made and service restor-
er.
The lightning hit at a time
when the old feeder line from
Urbana to West Liberty was be-
ing used while work was being
done on the new Urbana-Marys-
vile supply line, now in the pro-
cess of completion. The new sup
ply line, when ultimately COM
pleted, will do much toward e.
Eliminating power failures such as
affected all Dayton Power co.
lines east of West Liberty, Tues
day, Mr.. Bigler added.
North LeWisburg vicinity felt
the fury of the electrical storm
Tuesday afternoon when it was
| hit by five fires, three of them
within 30 minutes. The first fire
run was made about $3.50 p. m
to Jack Bahans, west of town
where Tightening struck the barn
tearing the roof and splitting
rafters, and setting fire to a
birds nest. Alertness of a farm
hand, who extinguished the blaze,
prevented, possibly, a great loss.
On the way back to town, it
was discovered, that the barn on
the Mrs. Hiram McClelland farm,
in the edge of town, was ablaze,
having also been struck by
lightning. This structure bunred
to the ground, with a loss of 400
bushels of corn, large amount
of baled hay, a quantity of new
lumber, about S35 worth of
ground feed and hog equipment.
Hogs which were in the barn,
were driven to safety. This loss
was partially covered with insur-
ance. The tenants are Mr.. and
Mrs. George Waynag.
While the truck was still at this
place a call was received, that
the Alton Watts barn on the Levi
Snuffin farm, about 212 miles
north of town, had been struck
The large fire truck made this
run, but was unable to save the
buildings, on account of not hav
ing sufficient water supply. This
loss consisted of two barns, two
sheds and brooder house, also
a large quantity of new hay. 1t
was reported that there was no
insurance on this loss.
At 7 p. m. the fourth call came
from Clarence Fosters, in town,
when defective wiring caused a
small fire in the basement. This
fire was out when the truck ar
rived. At $50 p. m the truck was
called back to the Watts fire to
