crash of thunder. No damage was
dono in Nomaha, but in othor parts of

damage. W. H. Mclninoh's houso

struck. Barney Molninch, who has
the farm leased, was stunned by the

set on Are, but the barn was burned to
he greuna with soveral sotBOf harness.
he horses were out in the pasture.
Dan Higglns' barn In Asbinwall pres
oinot was burned. The barn was a
arge one and had about thirty tons of
lay in it. The bolt went through the
new hay, making a small hole, and sets
ting the old bay underneath on fire.
Men worked for nearly two hours trys
ng to put out tho Are, and at times
thought it was all out, but suddenly it
blazed up and nothing conld be done.
Charley Noe's barn, near Stella, was
also burned with ten tons of bay. The
flrut two were insured but there wsb
no insurance on the last. E. B, Sperry
of Aspinwall precinct bad twenty acres
of .wheat in four stacks. Lightning
strucK and two or the staoks were
burned . The other two were saved by
tearing them down and oarrylng the
wheat away. John Webber's long hay
abed was struck twice, once on each
end, but little damage was done. No
hay was in tho ends but in the center
of the shed there was considerable buy.

ache, and most any other kind of an
ache, sleeplessness, except that caused
by a guilty conscience, and so many
other complaints that we can't enum
