Thunder and flood damage hit county farmland
Destructive lightning and wind swept across the county on Friday causing widespread damage. Hail destroyed crops in Cherryhill and Green township, with Grant and nearby areas also hit by a mini cyclone. Homes, barns, and telephones suffered, while corn and oat fields were leveled and the Yellow Creek area faced high water delaying furnace operations. Local residents reported heavy losses, including a Penn Run farmer valuing his crop at 3800 before a later drop to 265 as fields lay shredded and utilities repaired.

Two Suspects Admit Killing Aged Soldier In Woods
In Glen Campbell county jail, Brute Carbino and Joe Veltra confessed to abducting and shooting Robert Tozer, a partially blind veteran, after meeting him on a Punxsutawney train. They claim Tozer bought drinks before luring him to Martin's woods where he was killed. Evidence and admissions point to both men as primary actors. The body was later returned to Baxter, Jefferson County, with Tozer believed to carry about $800, though prisoners claim only $80 were taken. The men face trial in September.
