The large tobacco barn owned by Hon.
L. F. Lscom was totally destroyed by
fire Tuesday night. The barn contained
three or four acres of Mr.. Liscom's to-
bacco crop of last year and this years
crop stored there by William w. Wolf
ram valued at from $4,000 to $1,000, be-
sides large quantity of tools and farm
ing implements, and practically nothing
was saved The tobacco was all insured
but the remainder is a complete loss TO
Mr. Liscom.
1t was about $50 o'clock Tuesday even
ing when Mr. Liscom noticed the fire and
he rushed to the barn, an eighth OF a
mile or so from the house. When ne first
reached the barn it appeared that the
fire covered the whole length Of the build
ing and was raging furiously. At
O'Clock, and possibly after, people pass
ing along the road near saw no signs OF
fire, so 1t must have spread rapidly once
It was started. When discovered 1t was
useless to summon the village fire de-
partment some three miles away.
The cause of the fire is very mysterious
there having been no fire in the building
for several days previous. Mr.. Wolf
ram was there at work Tuesday after
noon but apparently everything was al
right when he left,
The barn, which was built but eighi
or ten years ago, was 257 by 81 fee

cost about $2500 The total loss of build
