BENTON COUNTY SHERIFF HAS CLOSE CALL.

While Sheriff Duffy was returning from a trip east of Delphi Tuesday he was caught in an electrical storm and while at a farm ten miles east of Delphi lightning struck the barn on the place and within fifteen minutes the entire structure was consumed by the flames. The barn was a large one and contained several tons of hay besides farm implements and harness which were destroyed.—Benton Review.
