The barn, and the she'd attached to-
it, belonging to William r., Sanborn Of
this village, together with the family
horse and COW, were burned on Thursday
evening The origin Of the fire Is UNI
known. II was first discovered by Mrs,
Sanborn, and she endeavored to get the
horse out, but was unable to, and got her
own hair singed in the effort. Help was
summoned, but ali that could be done
was to protect the house, about thirty
feet away, and the buildings Of Rev.
Henry Cummings about the same dis
lance from the burning barn. The
Bucket Brigade" StraTord's only fire
department, did heroic service in that
line. Mr.. Sanborn was called to Green
field, Mass, last week by the illness
Of his aged mother, but was called home
BY telephone, The buildings were all
insured, and had Just been newly paint
cd, the barn having been finished the
day before the fire. Four young men
very kindly staid by and watched the
fire all night, to guard agains any fur
ther spread Of the flames.
Rev. Henry Cummings has been quite
i'll for few days, requiring the attend
anee of a physician. He IS some better
at this writing, understanding the ex-
citement occasioned BY the fire 80 close
at hand, 1t was at first thought that
his buildings were on fire, and 1t was so
'phoned over the Peoples Line. This
called men with all haste to help the
aged man, who Is beloved by everyone.
