RANDOLPH — A large hog house on the Ed Strathman farm six and one half miles northwest of Randolph was destroyed by fire Monday night between seven and eight o’clock after being struck by a bolt of lightning during a heavy rainstorm.
The building broke into flames almost immediately after being struck and efforts to save it were futile. The Randolph volunteer fire department was called to the farm, but all the building was afire and the firemen confined their efforts to protecting the other buildings from sparks and flying embers.
Five hundred bushels of corn and oats were destroyed along with 250 bales of straw, and 12 spring pigs were lost. The building of 24x56 dimensions was insured but the destruction of the contents made the loss heavy.
