The young mans father and other
farm hands rushed to the barn when
they saw it in flames, but they were
unable to rescue the unfortunate
young man. who could be seen in the
fiery furnace struggling to free him
self from under the horse. He was

seen to huddle under the carcass of
the horse and was burned almost to
crisp. When the fire burned out
the charred remains of the young man
were gathered up and removed to his
late home.
Aside from the loss of his son the
fire was a severe blow to Farmer Lam
