BARN B'LO'WN DOWN BY 'WIND Thursday evening's storm demol- ished the long narrow straw shed at- tached to the barn on Mr, Percy 'Smith's farm just east of 'Grieve's 'bridge in M'clKillop township. The cement foundation wall on the east side crumbled and fell also. 'Pieces of timber were scattered over the slope of -the hill to the east of the''barn and the beasns were all taken off the found'ation. Mr. 'Smith had his clothes torn by •fallingtimber as he returned from s'hu'tting =a door. IO'n& .of the caws had a horn brdken and was. somewhat injured While standing nearby. Pigs in the cement stable be- low the straw shed narrowly escaped some of th.e falling cement. The cyc- lonic storm of last month tore out a Section of the roof on the"main barn. This time the roof was saved by the fact that the large doors were open and let .out the wind 'coming through the big opening at the end of tate straw :sailed. •Probably the Whole 'barn would have been denied off the foundation except for the ,weight of hay in the two mows. Members of the 'family were doing the millein'g in the :main '(earn about 7 o''clock when they h•eatar the wind coming and Mr. Simith ran into the ping stable and slammed the yard door shut. Fortunately it was only a 'fete steps dram the entrance to the main barn. because, as he stepped back, that wing of the 'barn collapsed, ant of the falling timbers tearing his clothes. There is wind insurance on the barn. No damage was done anywhere •e'lse in the district except on' that hill. A beech tree between the McKillop manse and the gravel .road was b'lovwn .over.as`was an apple tree in an ar'oh ard across from Mr. A hay loader near ,the orchard was rolled along the ground for some distance by the wind. IIn 'Hu'llett township near 'Clinton,: George Mann's bars was damaged the same evening. 'An end wall was'bldw.n fiat and the side walls spread, letting the roof down. The next day in Lo- gan township a near-lcyclonit gale did rumor damage.
