With it . six horses, two cows, a sow and a litter of pigs also- were destroyed, as well as 12 tons of hay and some feed. A valuable brood mare 'and a ocdt were among the horses lost-, in the fire. The mare, May Maxine, in her; rac- ing days had a mark of 212. All sorts of rumors are afloat as: to the cause of• the fire. The fact that two fires were extinguished inside the residence,,' some, distance away, while the barn was ablaze, has led Fire Chief Beacom to report the matter to the fire marshal at Toronto, and it seems certain that an investigation will follow. It is just a little ;over a year ago that a barn was destroyed by five on the saine,site. • - The 'owner Neil McAdam, was said to be n Detroit .and his wife is vis- iting with her parents in Ashfieid Township. The police Saturday were on the scene investigating the fire. The horses and stock were trapped and perished where they were tied in their stalls. • All summer the upper' floor Of the new barn was used as a •dance hall for which it was specially equipped. It was a well lmown and popular re, sort in the vicinity. lating to the two municipalities. i ' The Sunday school of St. James' church, Middleton, intends holding its Christmas tree entertainment on Monday evening, Dee. 21st. - James Band' Biassed away on Mon- day at the age of seventy-two.
