LIGHTNING STRIKES HIGH HORSE BARN
Twenty Tons of Hay Go Up in Flames But Machinery and Stock Saved
A bolt of lightning stuck the east end of the high horse barn on the S.
Wathier place east of Alton during the thunderstorm Monday evening. At
about 5:30 and within an hour that structure and another barn for cattle
just to the west were completely destroyed, according to the Alton Democrat.
About twenty tons of hay were in the lofts of the two barns but all the
livestock and machinery were saved as well as some harness. The Alton fire
truck was called and the work of the firemen and scores of neighbors helped
save a corn crib which was close to one of the barns, as well as other sheds
and buildings. During the early part of the fire a heavy downpour of rain
fell and drizzle continued all night which helped prevent the flames and
firebrands from setting fire to the rest of the farm buildings. By 8 p.m.
all that was burning was the hay and this burned all night and all the next
day. The fire truck used water out of a supply tank and from the cistern as
well as the chemical supply for preventing the house and other buildings
from catching fire, but the water supply was not sufficient to soak down the
hay. They discovered a long length of hog fencing. A dozen men were placed
at either end of the wire which was then dragged over the top of the burning
piles of hay, and the hay then flaring up and burning much faster, the wire
being see-sawed back and forth across the molten mass.
Peter Schroeder said the response of the fire company to the call was the
quickest he had ever seen. Fresh gravel on No. 10 and a mile and a quarter
of mud slowed up the truck to some extent, the downpour of rain making
driving doubly difficult. Mr. Wathier carried no insurance on the barns, so
far as known here. He was visiting his son, Joe, at Centerville, S.D., at
the time and hand not returned up to the time of this writing. Math
Wathier, who is manager of the farm in his father's absence, was also gone,
having left for St. Paul to attend the Minnesota state fair.
LOSS OF ARM DID NOT STUMP VET
(By Leonard Orth)
Sioux City Journal: Although his right arm was blown off during the battle
of Chateau Thierry more than nine years ago, John Harker, 3442 Seventh
Avenue, bass drummer for Monahan post drum corps, finds that frequently it
feels as if his right elbow needs scratching.
"That may sound idiotic," the former soldier of Company K, One Hundred and
Sixty-eighth Infantry, of the Rainbow Division, explained, "but it is true
none the less."
"There is the nerve end remaining that formerly led down to my right elbow
and that segment every now and then becomes irritated and it seems exactly
as it used to when my elbow needed to be scratched. And as soon as I scratch
in the vicinity of the nerve segment ending near my shoulder pit the
irritation stops."
Although Harker lost and arm on a battle field in France, he doesn't believe
in allowing that to interfere with his earning a livelihood, nor does he
believe in being content to become a burden on the public merely because he
did his "bit." He's a painter by trade.
"I had been a painter for several years before I enlisted for the world
war," Harker said, "and as soon as I finally got out of the hospitals, I
went right back to the same old trade."
"I still am able to handle a ladder well, and work off the ground as well as
to do interior decorating and I have been able to manipulate my left hand so
that I don't feel awkward," Harker added as he wielded his paint brush in
applying a coat of paint to the side of a house on Sixth Avenue, where he
was at work while being interviewed.
[Included here with this article is a very nice full photo of Mr. Harker.]
HOW HE LOST HIS ARM
"It was on July 28, 1918, that I lost my arm," Harker said.
"Melvin Kanago, of LeMars, who was a member of Company K and had enlisted
with me, and we were preparing to dig in while a detail from the company was
back getting the noon meal."
"It was open warfare right in there along the Ouree river and we could see
the German lines possibly 800 to 1000 yards ahead. The place where Kanago
and I were digging in was directly under a tree, which stood near to quite a
large ammunition dump."
"All of a sudden a high explosive German shell struck the tree just over our
heads and the next thing I remember was being hurled through the air about
20 yards."
"I don't remember what happened then, as things seemed to be happening so
rapidly. Howver, some of the others in the company who saw the whole thing
said that just after I landed on the ground again, I tried to rise to my
feet but fell over. You see I was right handed and evidently I had attempted
to put my right arm down to the ground to support me in getting up, but it
was practically severed, merely dangling by a slight fragment of skin."
"It did not pain me and I did not realize that I had been wounded, the
nerves being paralyzed."
LEARNS TO USE LEFT
"From then until October, 1918, I was shifted and transferred about in some
five or six hospitals in France. Then I was invalided back to America and
placed in Walter Reed hospital in Washington. They kept me there until
February, 1919, and then I was discharged."
"While at Walter Reed," Harker said, "I learned how to tie my own shoe
laces, how to write, how to tie my own necktie, dress myself, and otherwise
become accustomed to having only my left hand and arm."
Five years ago Mr. Harker was married and for a short time after getting out
of the army he lived in LeMars and Merrill, where he continued as painter
and decorator and for pastime played a baritone horn in the Merrill band or
at intervals played the bass drum for that organization.
An attempt to use an artificial arm proved futile, Mr. Harker explained, for
the shell had severed his arm to close to the shoulder socket that it left
no cushion of flesh, the skin having to be drawn taut over the bone segment.
Mr. Harker moved to Sioux City four years ago and since then has been
engaged in the painting trade. For the past four months, he has served as
bass drummer for Monahan post drum and bugle corps. Although he has but one
hand and arm to wield the drum stick, he says he finds it not difficult to
play the drum. Playing the baritone horn necessitates use of a strap, by
which he fastens the horn so that it rests securely, leaving his hand free
to open in fingering the necessary not positions of the keys.
(When Mr. Harker returned to Merrill, he was the first Plymouth county man
who could tell as an eye witness how county soldiers who died at the front
met their fate. An exclusive story of his experiences was published in the
Globe-Post at that time. Mr. Harker was an eye-witness of several of the
casualties, and was close at hand when others occurred.)
