DISASTROUS BLAZE.
Large Barn and Contents To-
tai Loss.

Shortly after noon Friday word
reached town to the effect that
the barn of M. S. Woodcock was
burning up. Various were the re-
ports, one person having it as his
dairy, another that the house was
burned as we'll as the barn.
Mr.. Woodcock at the time
was in Albany, but when the
news of the fire reached this city
Harold Weodcock and Fred Clark,
both of the bank, secured team
and drove out to the fire. There
was absolutely nothing that they
could do, so they started back.
While returning they met Mr..
Woodcock, owner of the proper
ty destroyed. He had just re-
turned on the afternoon train
from Albany and hearing at the
depot of the fire, obtained the
first available means of convey
ance, which in this case hap
pened to be the bus, and started
for the scene of the confagration.
An exchange Of rigs occurred
and Harold Woodcock and Fred
Clark returned to town with the
bus, M. S. Woodcock continuing
on out to the fire.
The fire did not occur on what
is known as the dairy farm, but
on another place not far from
the dairy. The barn was the on
ly building destroyed. It was a
very large structure and contain
ed 80 tons of hay at the time of
the fire. Two very fine mares
were burned to death, as were a
couple of calves confined in a
small lot near the barn. Two
wagons were burned, together
with many farm implements and
fixtures of various character.
occurring just on the eve OF
harvest the loss is quite a blow
as it makes difficult the storage
of Mr.. Woodcock's crop. We
believe there was no insurance.
lust who first discovered the
fire it is hard to say, but it was
probably Mrs. Butolph who lives
on the place. The men folks
were all at work in the field wher
the fire occurred. 1t is likely
that it was discovered about the
same time by a good many peo'
pie, as several claim to have beer
the first to see it. How it started
is not known.

Badly Injured.

Shortly after noon last Thurs
day word reached this city to the
effect that Henry Oleman had
shot himself and was badly in
jured. DR.. Cathey was summon
ed and went post haste to attend
him.
From what is learned it appears
that Henry Oleman, who is aged
1e years, was moving hay on his
fathers place about five miles
north of Summit. In that sec
ton there are many grouse and
when he drove out to the field
just after dinner he took a shot
gun with him. AS he rode out
to the scene of his labors he car
ried the shotgun on his lap. The
horses were poking along and he
concluded to wake them up a bit,
so struck at them, not knowing
that the whip lash was wrapped
about the barrel of the gun.
In striking at the horses the
gun was thrown f1om Henry's
lap and discharged. The load
from the gun entered his side af-
ter passing through the heshy
part of the arm. One of his ribs
was shot away and fear is enter
tanned that some of the shot en-
tered his lungs.
The gun was charged with No.
6 shot. The gun struck the now
er with such force that one of the
hammers was broken off.
After the accident, Henry, who
was alone at the time. tied uI
the team and walked home, a dis
tance of nearly quarter of a mile
and up hill too, at that. On en-
tering the house he found his ia

covery. There is some though
of bringing him to this city some
time during the latter part of thi
