Last Night's Storm
After threatening a storm, anil the
marshalling the cohorts of the elements
which go to make the electric displays
and the cyconie winds and the downpour
of the waters, for a number of hours,
and having all in readiness, the storm
of last night broke in all its fury upon
the defenseless heads af the people of
Plattsniouth about 10 o'clock. There
rarely occurs a more severe stoimofits
character than the one on exhibition
last night, as for fireworks, there was
not a time for an hour that there was
not a flash of lightening, illuminating
the sky. the glare was almost inces
sant. During which time the wind blew in
such a way as to cause the more timid
to think a hurricane was aiout due to
give us a visit, and all the time a con
tinual downpour of water as though the
flKxlgates of the clouds had been, open
ed. About the initial point of the pyro
tecnio display a bolt of liquid lire ignit
ed the barn of C. C. Farmele in the
north part of town and so rapid was
the combustion that only portionsof the
frame was standing when the fire de
partment arrived, although they re
sponded immediately. The flames from
the burning building which could only
be seen to the best advantage when the
electric glare was less violent, added to
the panoramic spectacle.
The horses were all gotten out but
the structure was an entire loss which
amounted to $1700 and pretty well cov
ered by insurance, there being SS00 on
the building and contents.
A bolt descended about the same time
taking the chimney off W. W. Coates
house, the county home got a bolt or
two doing little damage, and otherwise
there was nothing to speak of except
the washing of ground and some grain
blown down.
At the County Farm
Superintendent Bouse of the poor
farm was in town today and reports
that the eupalo of the building was
struck, tearing off a portion of one cor
ner of same, and passing down through
the house to the cellar, making a hole
through the wail at the corner of the
building. The wood work on the cupalo
was badly scorched, and there was also
a large place burned on the window
where the ielephome wire passes
through.
