Monday during the electric
storm, John Totten's barn, one-fourth mile south of Fairland, was struck
by lightning and entirely consumed by fire. The barn contained several
tons of hay and many farming implements. The three room-house on the place
was consumed also. the loss will reach $1,000. The amount of
insurance carried, if any, was not learned. Supplementing this, Dan
Bradley's large slate roof barn in Fairland, was likewise struck by
lightning, killing two of his best horses and sustaining much damage to the barn
as well. The telegraph wires were so highly charged with electricity that
instruments in the telegraph office and in the depot were badly damaged, as well
as telegraph poles along the line. The oldest citizens in and about
Fairland say it was the heaviest electrical storm experienced in many
years.July 28, 1898
