A two story farm house belonging to |
Eugene Goodrich, on the Bradley farm,
was entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday.
One of the men, having built fire in the
stove II the back kitchen, went out, and 1t
ia supposed the stove-pipe got overheated
and set fire 10 the lath overhead. Lottie
Northrup, little girl visiting there at the
time, discovered the fire and aroused the
inmates of the house, and then went and
obtained assistance. The entire loss Is ST.
900. There was no insurance on the house,
the policy having expired last fall. Mr..
Evans was entirely relieved of his silver
ware short time since by thieves and is
now entirely cleaned out. But for the
timely discovery of the little girl Mrs. Ev-
ans and child might have been consumed,
and but for the favorable winds the barns,
which had Just been filled with hay, must
have been destroyed, as the heat was so in
tense that the apples upon the trees at some
distance from the dwelling were baked.
