Destroyed By Lightning

The large barn on the farm of Philip Lohr, in the town of Pittsfield, four miles south of Ann Arbor, was struck by lightning Friday and was entirely destroyed together with the farm produce it contained. The live stock was saved. The produce consisted of 150 bushels of wheat, over 400 bushels of oats, about 60 tons of hay and straw and all the farming implements that were in the barn. A two years old colt that was in the barnyard was also struck and killed instantly. The building and its contents were insured in the Washtenaw Mutual for $1,000. Mr. Lobr will proceed to erect a new barn at once.
