4 BIG MIDNIGHT FIRE
John n. Bevis's Barn and Stock
Burned Up

Shortly before l o'clock last Sunday
morning, the large barn ON John M.
Bevis's farm, one and a half miles from
Penn's Grove, on the farm formerly
owned by Josiah M. Brick, was dis
covered to be on fire and in an h6ur the
building, its contents of hay, straw, hors-
es, harness, a calf and three COWS in the
barnyard were burned.
Wesley Raine's at the cross roads first
saw the fire as it was breaking out of
the roof and awakened Mr.. Bevis's fami-
ly who were sound asleep and had heard
no noise, Notwithstanding the horses
made noises which were heard over to
Raine's residence. About the same time
Thomas J. Firestone, engineer OH the
train due at PENIS Grove at IL. 55, saw
the fire when near PENIS Grove and rang
in the fire alarm on his arrival. The
n%elghbors and fire company with the
chemical engine soon arrived at the fire,
but nothing could be done to save the
barn nor its contents as the barn was
near falling when the first aids arrived.
An ice house near the barn caught OH
fire and a large hole was burned in the
roof before being put out. The wind
being northeast saved the crib house
and house.
The barn was 30x90 feet with a "a
foot post. 1t was built in a most sub
%stantial way about twenty years ago by
Josiah M. Brick, after a fire had burned
the previous barn. In the barn were
over thirty tons Of hay and wheat straw,
six horses, their harness and a calf. In
the barnyard were eight cows Three
were burned to death and the other five
had tile hides burned raw in several
places. They are a pitiable sight. For
SO large a fire few have ever seen SO
complete a consumption, as there is LETT
only a few fine ashes and the charred
carcasses of the six horses, three COWS,
a calf and a cat.
Large fakes of burning shit, oles were
carried to Robert w. Bevis's ss65 Wesley
800 ~ - oioes ioaus, fand but for
the frosty dew their buildih,os and bav
stacks would have caught oni g.. {
The barn cost $500 when Ma. .Aon+v|
years ago. Labor is higher$..nu laInper
has nearly doubled in price since then.
At the back of the barnyard was aIone
COW shed Is by 80 feet. The horses were
worth over $1,000 besides the Cows, hay
and harness will make a lossthat S., 900
will not cover. The INSURANCE amounts
to be about $4,000.
The sight of the charred animals is
terrible to behold and a person who
would be SO heartless asst start such a
holocaust deserves severe punishment.
Mr.. Bevis has the sympathy of all who
know him, because he has been all his
life an energetic hard working farmer
who deserves all he possesses.
