A hen house belonging to Frank
Synott on Grand Ave. caught fire
Yesterday and was very badly dam
aged. Mr.. Synott owns choice lot OF
White Plymouth Rock chickens, on
which he has taken prizes at county
and state fairs and poultry shows.
He had been preparing these birds
for exhibition at a poultry show
which is soon to be held and had been
washing them in blueing water. He
built fire in stove, so as to dry the
fowl and then went in to dinner.
When he came out he found the coop
on fire. He liberated all the chickens
before any of them had been cremated
and considers himself lucky that he
discovered the fire when he did. A
few minutes delay would have re-
suited in the death of part OF his
choice lot of chickens-he did not
have them all in the coop. 1t is pre-.
sumed tnat either spark flew out OF
the stove or else it became overhead
ed and the ire resulted.
