ALEC. HURLEY’S BARN BURNED.

\ During the thunder storm north of town Tuesday afternoon, lightning struck the barn of Alexander Hurley in Barkley tp., and burned it to the ground, together with contents, principally consisting of hay. 7*The statement printed in the Apologist that a team of horses was also burned was without foundation. The loss will reach several hundred dollars, with only $225 insurance.
