It was estimated Tuesday that it would take several days, pos sible until the last of the week, to re pair damage to poles and lines be fore full service could be resumed. Bluffton’s Main street boulevard lighting system felt the fury of the gale Monday night when the wind tore off the large glass globe atop a metal standard in front of the town hall about 9:30 o’clock and sent it crashing to the pavement. The blinding rain which accompan ied the onslaught of the storm on Monday afternoon made driving ex tremely hazardous, overflowed gutters and sent the temperature down 20 de grees a half-hour. A quarter-inch of rain fell in 10 minutes during the height of the storm. Streets here were littered with limbs of trees and debris of the storm. Barn Loss Heavy Loss of the barn and contents on the Bierer farm reported to have been heavy, is believed to be covered by insurance. Especially difficult to re place at this time will be the large amount of machinery which was burn ed. Lightning struck the bam at the height of the storm Monday afternon at 4 o’clock and dames consumed both barn and milk house. The farm is one mile north and a mile west of Mt. Cory. Besides the 11 head of cattle lost in the fire the machinery destroyed included two tractors, plows, a manure spreader, grain drill, corn binder, nearly 600 bushels of corn, a quantity of hay and fertilizer. Only one cow and her day old calf were saved. Walter Radebaugh, a neighbor farmer first saw the fire and gave the alarm to Herman, tenant on the place. The Mt. Cory fire department was called and fought the fire to prevent it spreading.
