Another Mysterious Barn Fire-Heavy

two miles east of Towson, was entirely de-
| StfOyed by hre between IL ana O'CLOCK on
| Tuesday night last, with most of its contents.
The farm is under rent to Mr.. Ralph W. Rider,
who conducted large dairy, and the greater
part of the loss falls upon him. Forty-two
| head of cattle, mostly milk cows three horses
and one mule persisted in the flames One of
the horses was Redmont, trotter with fast
mark, that was valued highly by MIR. Rider.
| The barn also contained large quantities of
| hay, straw and other provender harness, i'm
| plements, ETC., all of which is total loss. Mr..
| Rider is confident that the building was set on
fire. Some one on the place heard horse
being ridden away about the time the fire was
discovered. Mr.. Rider put horse in the barn
| as late as IL o'clock and he says that he then
looked about the building and found every
| thing all right. The estimated loss is from
| S12,000to $15 900. Mr.. Stansbury carried IS, 900
insurance on the building and some stock,
while Mr.. Rider carried but 81, $50. His loss
| is therefore heavy. -c
