Nathaniel H. Brooks OF Vernon together
with 26 head OF cattle and two horses

grain and two crops OF tobacco were
burned. The FIRE was well under way
when discovered and it was impossible to
save any of the contents. One OF the
horses burned belonged to Liverymar

probably caused by some ones smoking
on the hay. Loss, $4,000; insurance
$2325.
