ANIMALS ARE BURNED.
NicoIIet County Farmer Searching for
Incendiary.

A New Ulm dispatch says that on
Thursday morning the barn belonging
to Frank Kinling in the town of Ridg-
ley, Nicollet county was burned to the
ground and eight head of horses and
two COWS were incinerared. The burn
ing had all the appearance of having
been the work of an incendiary, as
the fire evidently started in the hay
loft. The barn and stock were insured,
but the loss is considerable. Last
year Kinling had several head of
cattle poisoned, for which a neighbor
was arrested and indicted but not
proven guilty. The cattle were fed
paris green, which had been put in
the pith on the ears of corn There
has been trouble among the neighbors
in that section of Nicollet county for
long time, and strife and jealousies
have made enemies. Suspicion for
this last crime has not been attached
to any person, but it is claimed that
foot prints leading from the burned
barn have been traced to neighbor s
house. and that an investigation will
be made
