HOT FIRE DESTROYS BARNS
Blaze Starting From Unknown Cause
Threatens North side
Nel9hborhood.

Fire starting from an unknown cause in
barn at l54l North Nineteenth street yes
terday afternoon consumed two barns,
scorched three others and for time, famed
by high wind, threatened to produce a
general confiagration in the neighborhood
When the fire department arrived the
flames were SO hot It was impossible to get
within 100 feet of the barn. The dwelling,
which is occupied by p. j. Meehan, was
also burning on the side nearest the fire.
The wind had hurled sparks to the roofs
OF several other dwellings and they were
starting to burn and the occupants were
carr ginE out their furniture
The two barns and several outhouses
which were entirely consumed were not of
great value and were insured. The one
north of the place where the fire started
belonged to w. l.. Edwards. 1t is due to
the coolness OF Mrs. Edwards that horse
In this barn was saved. She led the animal
out to safety when the flames were already
eating away at the structure.
Mrs. Meehan was slightly burned about
the face and neck.
The origin OF the fire is attributed to
sparks, possibly from someone smoking in
the loft of the barn, where a quantity Of
hay was stored.
