A Fire.


The people in the east part OF the town
were very much alarmed last week Tues
day, when the whistles blew for fire, and
it was discovered that the barns on the
Way place, owned by John Mckinley, oil
Ryegate, and occupied by Morris Taylor,
were on fire. The ensilage cutters were
at work there cutting ensilage with an
engine and it seems spark had found its
way through the wall into the lower
part of the barn, so that when discov-
cred, the whole NOW was on fire and the
men who were at work in the barn barely
escaped. There was a strong wind and
the house, also the schoolhouse near,
were saved, only by hard and persistent
obor. MIR. Mckinley gets $3.50 insur-
ance on the barn and Mr.. TAYLOR gets
$500 on his hay grain, etc. They will
build a new barn next spring. Much
sympathy is felt for Mr.. Taylor in the
loss of the barn and all his crops at this
time of the year, as he will now have to
sell his fine herd OF COWS which he had
selected tor his own use, II in number,
and nearly all fresh COWS, also some
young stock and lot of corn fodder
He will sell these at auction on SATURDAY.
