Box i3 was rung In about IL O'Clock
last night for blaze In the barn belong
ing to August Berndt In the rear OF b76
Broadway. The fire was discovered by n
man named Mcdonald, who extiDguished
the flames before the department arrived
by the vigorous use OF shovel.
Mcdonald said he saw the blaze, and
running to the barn found bundle con-
tanning blanket and some bags burning
behind the door In one corner. He seized
a shovel and subdued the flames.
II looks very much as though someone
tried to fire the barn for the burning bun
die was where 1t would soon ignite the
woodwork.
Mr.. Berndt is at a loss to know who
could have been the one who attempted
to burn his barn, and says that he has no
enemies that he knows of. Had the tire

This happened once or twice In England,

not AS great a financial SUCCESS as they
