Thunderstorm Burns Chariton Barn and Shocks Horse
A severe storm struck last night with vivid lightning hitting E. R. Chariton’s barn, destroying the hay-filled upper portion and severely damaging the lower structure. The bolt dazed the family horse and shocked operator Bertha Spinharney, causing hospital-like fainting of staff. Firemen responded quickly and service at the New State Telephone Central resumed after two hours. The article cautions against using phones during storms to avoid shocks and operator injuries.
