belonging to II. II. Daniels, was
stored in the barn, and all that could
be removed before the flames made
the work dangerous was hustled out
in Il hurry. There were besides
some two hundred tons of hay, the
property of Mr.. Daniels. The heat
was intense and the tiremen, who
had responded promptly to the
alarm, worked with the greatest diff
ticulty in saving the nearby build
ings, paying no attention to the fast
burning barn. The flames kept
tue spectators Il hundred yards away
up on the hill, where they watched
the brilliant scene in a peltirg rain.
The barn was owned by Mrs.
Mary b. Chapman of St. Louis and
was insured for $1,000, which only
partly covers the loss. The insur-
ance on the hay and other contents
was $IIoo. The main part of the
barn, new one, was 43x9S feet,
and the addition 35xIo5 feet.
Owing to the drouth the water
supply was inadequate. With the
usual P, assure at the h, drants 1t is
believed that many tons of the haled
hay might have been saved.
