During the electrical storm last is aimost miraculous, as the auto, a 
Saturday night the barn of Frank W. 
Bell, School street, Manchester, was 
struck. Lightning struck the ridge- 
pole, tearing it away from the roof, 
and followed the frame-work of the 
building to the ground, splintering 
one of the stalls in its course. 
Half an hour afterward Mr. Bell, 
not knowing the barn had been struck, 
went out to feed his horse. As he 
was-about to enter the stall the horse 
—usually a very tame animal—kicked 
Mr. Bell, felled him to the floor and 
considerably bruised him. 
After putting himself together Mr. 
Bell investigated, and found that elec- 
tricity had struck the building, splin- 
tering the stall and rending a hole in 
the floor. The injury to the building 
was slight, however, in comparison to 
his own. 
The horse had probably been terri- 
bly frightened. It so happened that 
two horses belonging to the contractor 
at work on the electric light plant 
had just been removed from the barn 
that afternoon, one of which had 
occupied the stall damaged by the 
lightning. 
Struck by Auto. 
Last Sunday night, shortly after 9 
o'clock, as Frank Dunbar, known by 
his mates as ‘ Shortie,’’ was riding on 
his bicycle from Manchester to his 
home in Magnolia, he was struck by 
an automobile, near the junction of 
Forestgand .Summer streets. “That 
heavy touring car, was going ‘‘about 
the limit,” according to Mr. Dunbar’s 
statement. As it was, the boy escaped 
with a sprained ankle, a gash in his 
wrist which necessitated two stitches 
being taken, a general shaking up and 
a demolished bicycle 
The auto, from appearances, suf- 
fered almost as much damage as_ the 
young man and his bicycle. The 
dasher was smashed, one of, the lan- 
terns was broken, a mud guard on one 
ot the forward wheels was demolished, 
and the running-gear of the car was 
somewhat injured. 
The car was owned and operated by 
C. Ernest Whitten, an auto dealer, 40 
Central street, Lynn, who was return- 
ing with another gentleman and two 
ladies from a day's run down the 
North Shore to Gloucester. As the 
party was speeding up Summer street, 
around the slight curve near the junc- 
tion of Forest street, the driver car- 
ried his car on the left hand side of 
the street, torcing the bicyclist, whom 
he evidently did not see, into the 
gutter, the collision resulting. 
The auto was stopped and the 
young man was picked up and carried 
to his home. Mr. Whitten afterward 
brought the injured boy to Dr. Blais- 
dell’s office and then to his home in 
Magnolia again. The bicycle was 
sent to Lynn early in the week, and 
if it is found demolished beyond repair 
Mr. Whitten, it is understood, will 
‘‘make good”’ by presenting the young 
man with a new machine.
