TH|RTY-S|X HEAD Of
LIVE STOCK PERISH
Two Large Barns on Gibbons Farm Near
lnwood With Entire Contents Con-
sumed--General Opinion is that Enc
mics Started the Flames.

Fire, (which is strongly sus-
pected as being of inciendiary
origin, destroyed two large barns
on the farm of Oregon Gibbons,
one and one1half miles southeast
of Inwood, early Sunday morn
ing, when their entire contents,
including three head of COWS,
three calves, and thirty head OF
hogs. The farm was tenanted by
Frank Baker and family. The
nature of the flames when thev
were discovered, and all of the
appearances of the fire, tend to
strengthen THE opinion, which is
current in Inwood, and the
neighborhood, that the fire was
started by enemies of Mr.. Glib
bons. Both OF the barns, which
are large structures, burst into
flames at the same time. The
flames were stanted from the in
terror and filled the barns before
help arrived from Inwood, so
that the live stock in the barn
could not be saved. A conserva-
tive estimate OF the loss sustain
ed through the fire is placed at
$4,000. The loss is only partial
ly covered by insurance in the
amount of $1,000.
Seen from Inwood
The fact that the buildings
were aflame was first discovered
by the telegraph operator at the
Pennsylvania railroad station at
Inwood, which was at two o.
clock Sunday morning. He call
ed the telephone exchange, which
is operated by George Long and
Mr.. Long located the fire, and
notified Baker and the owner
Mr. Gibbons. A hurried Journey
was made to the farm, but not

Besides the live stock which
persisted Ill the fire, 1000 bushels
of corn, 25 tons of hay, a large
quantity of oats, a hay rake.
1000 feet of lumber, besides
other produce, and farm machint

The barns were located about
200 feet apart One was a new
structure having been construct
ed only a few months, while the
other was an Older building.
At the time when the flames
burst out in the barns, the build
ings were wet from the heavy
rain, OF Saturday night. 1t was
very calm at the time and would
indicate that the transferring OF
the fire from one barn to the
other was impossible.

Mozart Club Pleased.

The following from the Bour-
bon News-Mirror, speaks in high
Complementary tones of the visit
of the Mozart Club to that on
last Thursday
"The Mozart Club of Ply
mouth came to MS last Thursday
evening with a most delightful
program of-music and left a taste
in our mouths for more. There
were thirty ladies and gentlemen
in the club lead by that master
full musician Prof. Owens of
Winona. The chorus work was
most excellent. The program was
as stated in last weeks paper and
embraced some of the most tune
full numbers that one could want
to hear. Besides the chorus
work the solo work of Miss Neff,
the soloist of the club was very
classical, very difficult of render
ing and very nicely given. Miss
Neff has been heard here before
and is always appreciated. How
ever, her work was hardly up to
her best. THE violin solos by
Fred Kuhn, jr. were most de-
lightful, showing him to be on
the high road to success in this
particular line of work. The
quartette work by Mrs. Hoham,
Miss Julia Yockey and MesSrs.
Mortland and Leonard, was very
much appreciated and they re-
sponded to encores that carried
the house away with them. The
solo work of the Soprano, Miss
Julia Yockey was far above the
average. Her enunciation was
ear, her tone beautiful, her
grace faultleSs and she was cas-
ily the favorite of the evening.
Not tremor marked her selec-
ton. In addition to the soprano
we must mention the alto work
Of Miss Lenora Vipall, which was
more than expected of so young
a person. She :aptivated the au-
dience by her york and the ease
with which she gave 1T. 1t often
happens that u pianist never
gets the credit deserved, many
taking it as a matter of fact ar
rangemenlt that pianists lust
are" Miss Irene Kuhn. the pian-
ist on this occasion deserves
more praise than our limited vo-
cabulary of adjectives allow
us to give. Without her work it
would be like spring without the
flowers, summer without the
birds or fall without the golden
foliage. Miss Kuhn can handle
the piano Just exactly right, and
the pity is that she was not al
lowed place on the program
for a solo, though the club is
supposed to-be but of local num-
bers OF the violin. The four
easy favorites of the evening
were Miss Yockey, Mr.. Kuhn
with his violin, Miss Kuhn and
Miss Vinall. The chorus work
was fine, the bass soprano and
altos have decided harmony and
Prof. Owens was the presoni1l-
cation of the watchfulness and
care in leading them. Come again
iladies and gentlemen, and we
shall feel all the better for the
visit, just as we do now The
u. B. church is to be congratu-
lated for they brought happiness
to many by their thougihtful-
ness"
