Fire Destroys
Buildings Threaterie,
when the frame building was lev-
elled.
Mit. SherwoOd said the -loss. was
partially covered by insaranee.
In the afternoon, a bolt of
lightning struck the- farm home
of Luther Saunders, Hallett Town-
ship, smashing several windows.
At the residence of David 1VIillson„
across the road from the Saun-
ders house, fuses were blow•i . out,
pictures were knocked from the
walls and articles fell from shelves.
Lightning also struck the resi-
dence of Mrs. Leslie Beuermann,
McKillop Township, Friday night,
and disrupted hydro and telephone
service, Mrs. Beuermann and her
daughters, Joanne and Maida, were
in the kitchen when they heard a
crash and saw a flash of fire. No
fire damage resulted in the latter
instances.
Save Tuckersmith Shed
Fire that broke out in the driv-
ing shed on the farm of Norris
Sillery, R.R. 3, Seaforth, Tnesday
evening, was prevented from
spreading by the quick work of
Brucefield and Clinton Fire De-
partments.
The blaze is believed to have
broken out as a tractor was being
started, and there was some fear
that it might spread to nearby
buildings. The two brigades ar-
rived on the scene in record time
and had the fire under control
very quickly.
Torrential rains, accompanied
by violent electrical storms; swept
the district on Friday. 'Rainfall of
as much as two inch -es in some
places saturated district fields and
further delayed the already late
spring seeding operations.
Lightning is held responsible for
a fire which completely destroyed
a barn on the farm of Charles
Sherwood, concession 12, McKil-
lop, and also for damage which
was done to the farm residence of
Luther Saunders ni Hulled Town -
The Sherwood barn, 10 miles
northeast of Seaforth, was struck
by lightning shortly before mid-
night. Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood, who
had not retired for the night, heard
a loud thunder clap but saw noth-
ing amiss when they looked out-
side. Minutes later, Mrs. Sher-
wood went out the rear door of
their house and saw the top por-
tion of the barn ablaze.
Mr. Sherwood attempted to ex-
tinguish the blaze but his efforts
were in vain. Seaforth Rural Vol-
unteer Fire Brigade, under Fire
Chief Jack Scott, answered an
alarm but the flames had gained
too great a foothold to be brought
under control.
A large quantity of grain, com-
mercial fertilizer, 300 bales of hay,
a fanning mill, and other small
pieces of farm equipment were de-
stroyed. No livestock was lost
