Before sitting I down he happened to look out the window and saw the barn in a mass of flames. A strange thing about it was that no unusual crash of thunder was heard. The building was insured for $2,000 and contents for $900. Of course this did not nearly cover the loss. At the same time a small frame barn on the 3rd line West, about 2 miles from the McDonald home, was struck and burned down. This build- ing was owned by Mr. Angus Clark and was used by Mr. Alex.
