Sheep killed by lightning
J.T. Buckley, living about two miles southwest of Fairfield, had two sheep killed by lightning about 2 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon about 20 rods from his residence in open pasture, the bolt striking one direct and burning the wool and flesh off the hip, and tearing up the sod in all directions. The other animal was a full 40 feet distant and showed no marks.
Baaaaaaaaaad news.
Ancil D. Mills, who lives on what is known as the Sims farm, north of Fairfield, received on the last payday from French Bro. Creamery at Fairfield a check for $96.18, being the amount due him for milk delivered during the month of January.
This is the largest check ever given out by this creamery for one month's milk to any patron. Mr. Mills milked a herd of 18 cows during this month, and it shows what may be accomplished in this line of work by one, as Mr. Mills only claims to have an ordinary herd.
Moooooooving news.
Corn Thief Caught
Roy Collins is in jail charged with stealing corn. He was caught in the act of husking corn in a field on the John Steinard farm, east of Fairfield, by several Bath Township farmers, on Wednesday night.
Upon being discovered he abandoned his horse and wagon but was later placed under arrest at Fairfield.
Crunnnnnnnnnchy news.
