Fire Near Boyd.

Friday, June 18th, E. w. Trout of
Boyd had the misfortune to lose his
feed barn by fire. 1t seems that his
little boys were trying to capture some
mice short distance from the barn, and
carrying straw from it they built fire
to smoke the mice out of their hiding
place. As boys would naturally do,
they split straw all the way from the
barn to the fire. Mr.. Trout was work
ing near by, but the fire was under such
'headway before he noticed it that all he
could do was to save few posts, ETC.,
that were near the barn.
