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.
