Sheffield Jan. 14.--Fire at 1890
Sunday night completely destroyed the
George Stoner livery barn at this
place. With the barn twelve horses
and one cow were cremated. So rap
idly did the flames spread that de-
spite the most heroic efforts on the
part of the fire brigade and citizens
not any of the property in the barn,
none of the horses could be saved.
The total loss Is estimated at close
to 81 900. The origin Of the fire is not
known There had been no fire in the
barn since the day before, and Ii seems
impossible that the blaze could have
originated from the office. The barn
is located near. the Main street in the
south part of the town. With the
structure and horses went several
buggies. grain, hay and harness. be-
sides u number of other articles that
are about such place. The barn was
insured for $500 but this it is said
will not cover the loss OF the horses
and other property.
