Austin Roed 'a farm building were destroyed by lire early Sunday morning after being struck by lightning, the bolt striking the west end of the cow stable and setting lire to the straw. The community was awakened about 4.30 o'clock, a general alarm leii!g given on the telephone that the Beed barn was afire. JLr. Reed and son-in-law, Frel Cobb, were at the barn milkinu when the lightning struck. Tla-y thought the house was struck, but upon looking saw it was all right so went back and finished the cows, when they discovered that the barn floor was filled with smoke. They aroused the other members of the fam ily, who gave the alarm while the men got busy to save the stock, which con sisted of 12 cows and five calves, all of which had to be driven toward the fire which made . prorress slowly. All were turned loose, but the smoke filled the stable so rapidly that the men had to get out of the barn the best way they coiild to save their own lives. Jtfr. Cobb was obliged Vo jumifrom the stable widow, a distance of 12 feet or more, to the yard below. The grandson, Carroll Cobb, was so nearly prostrated by the smoke that he had to crawl on his hands and knees to locate the scut tic, which he opened, and went down head first. The li.cht from the open w-uttle attracted the attention of Mr. Reed, who also was looking for an op portunity to escape, so he. went out that WAV. Two calves also went down the scuttle, two were burred and one v.as burned so it had to be killed. The barn fell about five minutes after the men escaped. All the buildings" were connect cd. The garage, which connected the horse barn and wood shed, was torn down and it was thought at one time the house was safe as the fire was under control. 'Some of the people had started for home to do their own chores when it was discovered that the garret wa-i filled with smoke and in a few minutes the house was in flames. The larger part of the household goods were saved and all of the stock, except the two calves and 20 hens. The thresh ing machine, -manure spreader, .'ensilage cutter and grist mill were burned, also about 20 tons of ha v. The familv consists of Mr. and frs.
