HIT BY MIN Loss Is Said To Amount To $3,000 Fire, believed caused by lightning during a severe electrical storm, totally destroyed a large barn on the farm of James Adams at Teeswater, early Fri- day morning. The loss, including 22 hogs, two calves, implements and feed, will amount to nearly $3,000, part of which is covered by insurance. The Teeswater fire department was sum- moned but when it arrived the building was already doomed, Fortunately the wind was not blow- frig in the direction of the house a few rods distant, and it was saved al- though the department was recalled to the scene again before morning when it was feared the shifting wind was endangering the house. As it was, sparks and pieces of burning debris, showered the village and burned them- selves out on village roofs which due to the heavy rain did not take fire. Mr. Adams had just taken possess- ion of the farm about a month ago and was scarcely settled in his new loca- tion.
