On Wednesday of last week the barn and
contents of Il. S. Farnsworth. of Blooming
dale, were totally consumed by fire. The
barn contained at the time, one hundred
bushels of wheat, forty bushels of oats, one
ton of hay and the straw from twelve acres
of grain. The fire originated from burn
ing stub, which had been set on fire by l.. T.
Mulford, in field across the road from the
barn, and was more than twenty rods from
it. There was no insurance on the building.
and the damage is estimated at $3.50. Mr..
Farnsworth was away from home threshing
at the time. and had it not been for the as
sistance of his neighbors, greater damage
would have been done to his property. He
desires to thank his friends through the
columns of this paper for the assistance they
rendered him in their efforts to save his
property
And still the good work goes on! The
