BARN NEAR WALDRON
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Building on the Elmer Amos Farm
Is Struck by Lightning Shortly
Before Noon.
----------
Farm implements and a large quantity of feed were burned in the blaze. Because of the heavy rain falling at the time the building was struck, the other farm structures, including the house, were not endangered. The loss was partly covered by insurance, it was understood.
The place is tenanted by the John Fix family. Mr. Fix died several months ago.

Trial of Milford Man Closed Here Today ---
Contends Not His Fault.
----------
Evidence which was given for the defense sought to show that Mr. Norris was using all care possible to avoid hitting the buggy in which Mr. and Mrs. Claude Fix and children were riding on the road near Norristown, Sunday evening, June 19. Mr. Norris declared that his view of the buggy which was being driven south on the road, was obstructed by a car which was standing at the side of the road; as he turned to the left to go around the "dead" car, he saw the buggy and testified that he at once swerved to the right to avoid hitting the buggy; the front wheels of his machine hit the car parked at the side of the road, throwing the rear of his machine to the left and hitting the buggy in which the Fix family were riding, he stated. The defense of Mr. Norris was that the accident was not caused by his carelessness or thru any fault of his.
