TAYLOR DUNCAN SUFFERED A HEAVY LOSS SUNDAY MORNING WHEN HIS RIG BARN,

TOOLS, GRAIN AND HAY RURNED DURING RIG STORM.

THE STOCK WAS ALL SAVED

Loss of About $'1,000 Was Only Partially Covered With Insurance— Rut For the Continued Rain, Mr.

Duncan's Dwelling and Buildings Over the City Would Probably Have Been Burned Telephones Were Burned O it.

The big 70x112 foot barn of Taylor Duncan, at the west city limits, was burned to the ground about 4 o'clock Sunday morning, together with its contents of tools, hay, grain, etc., with only about half of the loss covered by insurance.

The barn was struck by lightning during the storm just before 4 o'clock, and was discovered by Mr. Duncan in a few minutes, as he was awake and heard the terrific clap of thunder that accompanied the bolt that fired his barn. Mr. Duncan ran to the barn and succeeded in driving his caftie, including cows and feeders, from a shed adjoining the barn on the w7est. Luckily, he had turned his horses out Saturday evening, or they would probably have been lost, as the fire affected the east side of the barn, where the stalls are located, first.

It was only a few minutes until the barn was a seething mass of flames, and the fire department could do nothing but turn their attention towards saving Mr. Duncan's house and other buildings, and they were assisted in this by the continued downpour of rain, although they were hindered by the strong wind that carried fire brands from the barn, not only to the house but all over the city. These were found Sunday morning in every part of the city, and but for the rain that was falling, many fire? would no doubt have been started from them. Notwithstanding the hour, the storm and the distance, many people arose and made their way to the scene of the fire, although they were powerless to assist Mr. Duncan in any way, ana could only look on while his property burned. During the day hundreds of people visited the scene, as the fire had been seen many miles in the country.

Mr. Duncan's loss includes the barn, about 300 bushels of com, about eight tons of timothy hay, clover hay, baled straw, two wagons, a manure spreader, road wagon, harness, gravel bed, hay loader, hay rake, plows, hay fork, and also a quantity of ground feed and other farm articles. He estimates his loss at about $4,000, and had $900 insurance on his barn and $500 on his hay and corn, wTith none on his tools.

In addition to burning Mr. Duncan's barn, the lightning did considerable damage to the telephone system, burning out a number of phones, over 4,000 volts of electricity coming in on the Indianapolis line, but being cut off before much damage was done by it.

USED THE WRONG WORD AND MAN WAS LIBERATED

A Connersville dispatch gives the following instance of the effect of a technicality:

The expression "by virtue of" instead of the plainer 'because of,' saved James A. Gregory from a trial on a charge of grand larceny Friday. He was charged by a grand jury indictment, returned in Union county, with stealing a bale of raw fur, worth $1,200 from Chas. P. Kennedy, a Liberty banker.

The indictment set forth that Gregory was in business with Kennedy. and that he had access to and got possession of the fur in question "by virtue of his position as agent for Kennedy. The defense contended that, having obtained possession by virtue of his agency he could not have been guilty of larceny, as charged. The indictment was quashed on motion of the defense.

REMEMBER DEAD III

Odd Fellows Hear Address and Music and Scatter Flowers Over Many Graves of Their Deceased Brothers.

The .Greenfield Lodge of Odd Fellows remembered its dead Sunday afternoon with appropriate and impressive services at the hall and cemetery. The sisters of Rebe'kah participated in the memorial service at the hall, but did not march to the cemetery. There was a very fair attendance, considering the threatening weather.

The service at the ha]] consisted of songs by the audience and by a quartet composed of Charles Arnold, Robert Mulvihili Lowell W. Smart, and Paul Ogg, and by a splendid address delivered by Rev. L. J. Naftzger, who has been a member of the Odd Fellows for a quarter of a century. This was the third annual memorial address Rev Naftzger has made to the local lodge, and the members were well pleased with the talk, which went to the very foundation of Odd Fellowship, and put a high estimate on its teachings and principles.

At the close of the -service at the hall, the members of the lodge, led by the Greenfield Band, marched to Park Cemetery, where at the public mound, the roll of the deceased members was called, both Odd Fellows and Rebekahs and the grave of each, to the total number of almost a hundred, was decorated with flowers and evergreen.

PANIC AT FUNERAL

WHEN CROWDED CHURCH WAS LIFTED FROM ITS FOUNDATION, RIGS UPSET, TREES

UPROOTED AND FENCES TORN DOWN RY THE MIGHTY WINDS.

CALM MINDS AVERTED DANGER

By Compelling Frightened People To Resume Seats Until Storm Passed Houses Unroofed at

Forlville and Storm's Track Extends Over Wide Territory—One Woman Killed Ry Falling Tree At Richmond.

The terrific wind storm, accompanied by lightning and rain, which swept over the northwest part of this county about 11 o'clock Sunday, caused a panic for a few minutes at the North U. B. church at Mohawk, where the funeral of Mrs. W. A. Barnard was in progress.

The house was lifted off of its foundation and rocked back and forth during the heaviest part of the storm and while the congregation was singing a hymn. The singing stopped as fright filled the hearts and minds of the singers, and with one inind, a rush was made iar the door by a large number. The door was closed, and before it could be opened, Oak S. Morrison, the undertaker, called out to the people to be seated again and gave such force to his commands that the near panic subsided and with a few words from other calm minds, the crowd that filled the church to its capacity, saw the the wisdom of the commands and became calm. Had they succeeded in getting the door open, the church wTould much more likely have gone over with all of them under the ruins. As it was no one was hurt. Many of the rigs about the church were overturned and damaged and the funeral car was turned over against a telephone pole twice. Between Mohawk and Eden many trees were uprooted or broken, fences were razed and other damage wag done. At Fortville, several house were unroofed and other damage done.

Mrs. Adam Howard, age 00 years, was killed in Wayne county, near Richmond by a tree falling on her and crushing her head. A baby, seated on the woman's lap was uninjured.

Hamilton county was swept by the storm, which did considerable damage, but no one was injured. In Shelby county, there was much damage. It is estimated that Frank Lux, the corn king of that county, will lose $1,000 because of the severe storm.

At Muncie, Anderson and Winchester the storm raged with heavy financial loss, but no loss of life.

SHIRLEY GLASS FACTORY

May Move to Winchester—Mailer in Hands of Business Men.

Prospects are exceedingly bright at the present time for the removal of the Woodbury glass factory at Shirley to this city. In fact, arrangements have so far progressed that it can be safely said the factory will come here. The matter is now in the hands of the Winchester Business Men's Association.

The coming of this factory will mean that there will be employment here for 300 more hands than at present. It will mean boom all along the line in Winchester. Many new residence properties will be necessary.—Winchester Democrat.

Chauncey W. Duncan and Ed Y. Toms started Sunday morning for Chicago in Mr. Duncan's auto, to attend the Republican National convention. William Hough, A. P. Conklin and E. A. Robb will also attend.

"Take the locks and bars away from the penitentiaries, jails and wrorkhouses, and leave the rest to the guards and the prisoners." This is the theory of W. H.

IRE 605PEL TENT IS RAZED RV STORM

Tent on Spring and North Streets Went Down in Heap Before a Twisting Wind Sunday—

Other Damage Done.

The Gospel tent on the corner of Spring and North streets went down in a heap Sunday morning about 11 o'clock before the twisting wind which probably was a stray gust from the storm that swept the northwestern part of the county, doing considerable damage.

Luckily there was no one in the tent, as their day meeting Sunday was to have been held in the afternoon.

The center pole of the big tent was broken, and the entire structure was razed, as every part gave way. Had there been anyone in the tent it would have been almost impossible for them to escape death or injury.

The wind also did some damage to trees, tearing off branches, and for a few minutes it looked like we were in for a regular twister.

MET THEIR WATERLOO S E

Gray Brothers' Team Not Equal To the Indianapolis Reserves— Score 5 to 19, With Heavy

Score on Wrong Side.

After winning from everything in sight this season, the Gray Bros, ball team met their Waterloo Sunday when they played the Indianapolis Reserves at Dewey's Park.

This game had been advertised as the best of the season, as both teams were considered very strong. There was a large crowd in attendance and with all the encouragement given them by rooters, the local team could not stand up against the heavy hitting and scientific playing of the visitors, and lost the game with the score standing 5 to 19, in favor of the Reserves.
