BURNED TO DEATH.
A Well Known Farmer Perisl1es in 4
Burning Barn.

Worthington, Mimi, Nov. 24.-Al-
bert Lestico, a well known and pic.
neer farmer of this vicinity, persisted
in the flames that consumed the large
stock barn on his farm in the north
eastern section of the town.
Lestico's body was discovered in
the ruins near one of the barn doors,
lying close by the body of a dead
horse. The belief is that he was res
cuing the horses when overcome by
the heat and smoke.
The barn contained a large number
of valuable horses and much grain
and feed. The flames were beyond
control when the fire apparatus
reached the scene. A large barn and
granary on the adjoining premises
were destroyed. - ~
Lestica returned home quite late
and went to the barn few moments
before the fire was discovered. -
He is survived by his widow, two
brothers and two sisters and his aged
mother.
The property loss by the fire
amounts to between $4,000 and $4,000
