Barn Demolished by Wind—
Thursday evening of last week fol-
lowing a day of excessive heat at
wind and electrical storm passed
over this community leaving ooustd-
erable damage iu its hake. A terrific
wind carne up suddenly lashing the
trees, breaking off numerous brauc•h-
es and putting the hydro system tint
of commission. The most serious
damage was done to a barn belong-
ing to Messrs. Jack and Harold
Hunter. of the Hunter Line. t'sburne,
which was blown from its foundation
anti collapsed. The barn was runt
plet-ly demolished and debris snit•
tered about. In the hien was consid-
erable hay, A cow suffered It broken
leg and had to be killed. A bull was
trapped in a box stall and burled be-
neath the ruins. Little hope was
given for its rescue but after consid-
erable effort it was released and
was found to have suffered no in-
juries. The building was insured
against loss by wind. A new barn
will be erected on another site, A
new hay -loader, belonging to Mr.
Fred Ellerington, purchased for tak•
ing oft this season's drop, was rolled
over, crumpled up and wrecked, In
Exeter numerous limbs were blown
from the trees and several hydro
lines were broken and the town was
without lights. Rain fell and lightning
lit up the darkness. A few heavy
peals of thunder rent the air. The
storm lasted only about fifteen o'
twenty minutes but the lights were
off for several hours. When the
lights went out work was proceeding
at full speed at the Exeter canning
factory and things were thrown into
Confusion. A shutdown of this nature
means the loss of considerable peas,
