STRUCK  BY  LIGHTNING
----------
LARGE  BARN  ON  THE
POHLMAN  FARM  IS  DAMAGED.
-----
          The large barn on the farm owned by  John  and  Henry Pohlman, just east of the St. Vincent's Catholic church, was struck by lightning last night about ten o'clock, but the damage only amounted to a few dollars.
          A large hole was torn in the roof and part of the siding was damaged.  The heavy down pour of rain prevented the structure from igniting.
The property was insured in the Farmers' Insurance company of Shelby and Johnson counties and the loss is being adjusted this afternoon.
