BARN FALLS DOWN,

The workmen, who have been re- pairing Miss Belle Sanford's barn, south of the house, and Frank Hun gerford who works for her, all had a narrow escape from death, one day last week. While they were all under the barn some of the props gave way and the whole building collapsed, catching the men under the timbers. Frank Hungerford was knocked to the ground and severely injured and three or four of the workmen were badly scratched and bruised. An alarm was sounded and the neighbors all re- sponded and soon had the imprisoned men free. It is miracle they were not all killed. The barn was a total wreck. Miss Sanford has decided to build new one in place of her old barn Ibut will locate it northeast of her house.
