A. bad lire occurred here Monday
night when the barn of Mv. J. Cud -
more was burned, together with meth
of its contents. The fire started af-
ter most of the inhabitants had gone
to bed and lied got a good start he -
fore it was noticed. A horse and
two cows which were housed in the
building were got out and a mother
hen and her little chicks were rescued
by4Earl, at the last minute, but sev-
eral other hens were burned. Feed, ,
implements, vehicles, etc., were also
destroyed. The origin or the fire ,s
unknown, as there was no fire about
the barn. A splendid bucket brigade
was formed.by the neighbors. 'whose
efforts no doubt saved the house and
other houses nearby and wells and
cisterns were quickly pumped drY.
Fortunately there was little wind,
otherwise the result night nave been
disaeterous as the buildings ere close.
