sarn Destroyed BY fire.

About O'Clock Sunday morning, Aug.
Is, neighbors discovered fire in the lum-
Der shed owned by William H. Edmunds
and in the barn OF Augustus p. Hunton,
situated on South Main street. The
alarm was at once given, but the fire had
gotten under too much Roadway to be
checked in those buildings and the atten-
tion of the hre company was directed
towards protecting the adjoining build
ings. Mrs. Stickney, daughter Of Mr..
Hunton, and Mr.. Stickney had started
Saturday evening to drive to Rutland and
did not return to Bethel until Monday
evening. The live stock in the Hunton
barn was saved, including horse, COW
and pig. Mr.. Hunton lost several tons
Of hay and several articles of use around
the barn and in farming operations. The
Edmunds shed was occupied in part by
E s. Putnam for storage of farming
utensils. Mr.. Putnam estimates his loss,
which was total, at about $3.50, and
among the machines lost were two now
ing machines, hay tedder, a sulky pillow,
a saw rig and other articles. In the 9TH
er part OF the Edmunds shed was stored
some lumber from the lumber mill of DR..
| Clara Rogers Rutter. This had been sold
to Martin Adams OF South RoyaIton and
the last OF it was placed in the shed Sat
urday before the hre. The loss is about
/ 20, 900 feet of maple, birch and beech
lumber worth about els per thousand.
The only insurance on any of the prop.
erty lost was that carried by Mr.. Hunton,
who had $500 insurance on the barr
building in the Vermont Mutua
through the agency OF Guy Wilson
None OF the contents OF the barn were in
sured. The loss OF Mr.. Hunton is esti
mated at about $1,000.
There are two versions as TO the origin
OF the fire. II apparently started in thu
lumber shed and within the past twenty
years there have been about thirty fire
started in the lumber sheds, caused b,
sparks from passing locomotives and tn
fact probably is that this fire was cause,
in the same way. Night Waterman Mel

trsmps roosting on the lumber piles
short time before the fire and states tina
he ordered them away and that they ap
parently moved on. OF course it is pos
