ignited a
Sebastian
farm, in Orange township, in a storm
that came up at 5 a. m.
The 36"by 58 foot "structure was
consumed with its contents, including
16 ewes, 13 lamos, 85 bushels of
wheat, 35 bushels of oats, five tons
of hay and some farm machinery.
Mr. Sebastian estimated his loss at
$4000, which is partially covered by
insurance.
In Bluffton, the only lightning
damage was to the Jack Fillhart
home, on North Jackson street,
where a bolt struck a chimney on
the house. Little damage resulted.
Bus Goes Into Ditch
During the height of the storm, a
northbound C. and L. E. bus skidded
from the Dixie highway into the
ditch south of town and three pas
sengers were taken to the Bluffton
hospital for treatment of minor
bruises and cuts. The bus was un
damaged.
Those shaken up in the mishap
were James Davis, aged resident of
Grove street Miss Miriam Schu
macher, 27, of Phoenix, Arizona, and
Miss Juanita Weber, 21, of Lima.
A number of swimmers in Buck
eye lake were shocked slightly when
lightning struck and split a large
tree near the pumphole at the north
end of the quarry. Carl Mumma,
who had been fishing, had been
standing under the tree shortly be
fore it was struck by the bolt, but
had run to his car for better shelter.
Rainfall Sunday afternoon was
particularly heavy south and east of
Bluffton, and many fields were flood
ed by the downpour. Wind ripped
limbs from many trees in the same
area to add to the damage.

Lightning, rain and wind left
trail of damage thruout the Bluffton
district Sunday afternoon in a severe
storm of short duration that came

Orange township near where Route
69 crosses Route 30. In that district
34 head of livestock perished by
