FIRE In THE COUNTY
MIR. T.. Il. Matthew'S Loses His Fine Barn
and Corn and Other Articles

On Friday night or rather Saturday
morning about o'clock Mr.. t.. H.
Matthews discovered his barn on fire.
Everything was done to save it. but
about all that was saved were the mules
that were in the stables.
1t was we suppose The finest and best
built barn in the county. l., was put
up by Mr.. Jacob Schumpcrt when nc
owned the place several years ago and
those who knew him know what kind
of barn it was. He always had the
best and was himself fine workman.
In addition to the building MIR. Mat
thcws had about 300 bushels Of corn. Il
lot OF rough food, about 80 bushels Of
peas and all his gears and tools. ic
just managed rs we stated to save his
mules.
The loss is a heavy one. no give
some idea of Chc value of the barn Mr.
Matthews until rcccntiv carried a
policy OF insurance Of $1,000 on the
building. At the time Of the fire he
had only about 800 insurance which
will not begin to cover the loss.
1t is supposed to have been set on
fire. IN fact that is about the only way
to account for the fire.

When the news Of the rich deposits or

1896 Inspector Constantine was sent
there with a detachment OF mounted

making a thermometer survey from
the coast to the one hundred anu forty
