The first storm was about midnight and the second -about 3,30 Sunday morn­ ing. Both storms came from the west and the strong wind flattened corn in some places, tore limbs off trees and disrupted the hydro service. Grain in stooks in the fields was messed about. The damage in gen­ eral was not as great as one would expect, but Mr. John Hardy, Lot 18, Concession 8, of Turnberry, lost his .barn which was struck' by lightning.’ The barn was struck during the se­ cond storm, about 3.45 a.m. Sunday, .and the flames spread so quickly that it was a roaring inferno by the time Mr. Hardy’s son, Jim, got to the barn. While Jim tried to get the horses, out, his sister, Emma, drove the car 'from a building alongside the barn to a safe position, horse out but when try and release the round the yard and into the barn and when the windmill fell it knocked the horse down and it was burned to death or was killed. The barn which was '54 feet by 54 feet, of wood construction, was a total loss and the heat was so terrific that it crumbled the foundation in many places. ■ 300 bushels of wheat which had just been threshed was burned along with the rest of this season’s crop and some hay from last year. Other losses were, 3 horses, 29 pigs, 4 calves, binder, seed drill, cutter, buggy, cream separator, and many tools, etc, that were in the barn. The cattle were in the fields.as were some of the implements. A colony house which was about ' 60 feet south of the barn was not burned. The heavy rain which was falling,.no doubt, saved it. The wind carried burning embers and for a long distance cast. If it had nut been for the heavy fain, no doubt ■other barns along the line would have taken fire. The loss is covered by in­ surance. Jim did get one he went back to calves it ran ar- tried to get back • £ bo 13 'C o 4 Baird, M. R............:... Blake, W. E. J............ Brown, G. L. ...h.......... Campbell, J. L............

I 1 MAITLAND ALL-STARS LOSE TO HURONS GOLFERS ENJOYED TWO-BALL FOURSOME As a warm-up for the group finals the local ball club played a team of All-Stars from the Maitland League at the Towi^Park Saturday afternoon. The Stars were picked from among Blyth, Auburn, Whitechurch and St. Helens players and put up a very commendable exhibition although de­ feated 8-3. A tall, lanky lad named Carruthers, pitched, for the viistors and showed a nice turn of speed and a good curve, striking out no less than twelve of the Braves. This boy pitched a few games for Teeswater near the end of the season and with a little experience will give a lot of teams plenty of trouble. The Hurons worked three pitchers, Chalmers, Tiffin and Peterson, in the order named. Except for a bit of horse-play by their team-mates in the final frame, the trio would easily have shut out the opposition who were a trifle weak with the willow. The Braves left a lot of men on the bases Saturday and it is to be hoped they don’t do likewise in the all-important games ot come. Won 2nd Prize at Hanover A local trio, M. Rae, Ed. Nash M. Telfer, won second prize at Twilight Trebles held in Hanover on Friday evening. Their score was 3 wins plus 15. Listowel School Principal Injured J. E.
