LOSS ESTIMATED AT $1,000
F. B. Callins Intended to Take
Out Insurance Tuesday.
Fire Licked Up 200 Tons Of New Hay,
Two siIos, Farm Implements and
wagons, seven Calves und a
New Darn.

The loss to Fayette 3. Cslkins, who lost
200 tons of hay. seven calves and other
propert:. when the big barn on the farm
of Mrs. George -. Brown burned
early Yesterday morning. Is estimated at
5000. He had no insurance. The barn.
owned by Mrs. Brown. was insured
Because n barn owned by Mr.. Calkins
was burned a short time ago and be-
cause OLlcer william Collins claims to
have seen two men running from tho di-
rcction of tho barn directly after the fire
was discovered, the story of incendiarism
Is given credence by some.
The reflection of the blaze in the farm
house windows awole the farm hands at
two o'clock. and they Immediately ran
to the barn. In the meantime Officer Col
Inns had sent in an alarm to the fire de-
partmcnt
Because of the location Of the barn.
which was set close to several small
buildings, the hremen had difficulty In
combining the blaze to Ats origin. The barn
was a mass of flames when the depart
mont arrived. and work was directed only
To the nearby buildings.
William Mccarthy, the farm foreman,
succeeded In saving one of the eight
I calves. The others were roasted alive.
The barn was new one and had ce-
mont floors Beside the hay, valued at
over ZOO. 1t contained two silos, farm
implements, a double farm wagon and a
! hayrack.
! chief Niles expressed the opinion yes
terday that tho blaze might have been
caused by spontaneous combustion. The
| farm hands, however. think otherwise.
Mr. Calklns on Monday finished placing

HORSE RIDES I'm A BALLOON.
Most Spectacular Thriller of the Age
with Barnum and bailey Show.

The most spectacular thriller of the
age will be seen in Burlington Friday,
August II, beneath the main exhibition
tent Of the Barnum and Bailey circus.
Those who love horses will find their adj
niratiun for the animal increased ten
fold when they witness the unprecedent-
ed feat OF Jupiter, a magnificent Arabian
stallion.
To begin with. Jupiter is the hand
soonest horse ever introduced in a circus
ring. He is the king of equines and he
looks the part There Is true ma
jesty in his bearing. He is known as the
balloon horse" because he rides to the
dome Of the tent in a balloon and de-
scends in shower of fireworks lie Is
ridden by one Of the most beautiful
women who ever sat in n saddle, In
stead of basket, platform Is chained
10 the great gas bag. 1t Is barely large
enough to hold the animal. 1t has no
railing. When everything is ready the
balloon begins its ascent. The least
nervousness on the part Of Jupiter would
me tu death to him and his nervy rider
on reaching the top there is a mo-
mcnt's pause. Then tongues of flame
dart here and there A shower of fire
works envelopes the horse and the girl
in a flood OF suffering embers and
sparks. Fifty rockets. fastened to the
platform, send SPRAYS of fantastic fire
stars in all directions. Through all this
blazing torrent the descent Is made.
No circus act of the past has scored
anything like the success won by this
magnificent horse The performance is
thrilling enough to rob people Of the
power to applaud once the horse and
the rider reach the ground IN safety,
however, the approval and amaZement
of the audience are expressed In storm
Of shouts and hand-clapping.
This circus has many more exceeding
ly fine acts in which are displayed Won

mails and tho highest talents on the part
Of the shows various trainers There is
troupe of Hungarian stations that eX-

RAILROAD BUYS MUCH LAND
Property Of Shepard g. Morse
Lumber Go. Transferred,
Company Reserves n Two Years Lease
OF Portion Used for Mil Purposes
End of MIN street Includ-
ed in Sale.

All OF the property OF the Shepard e.
Morse Lumber company north OF King
street. which includes the land on which
are located the mills and offices and that
land bordering the lake. has been sold to
the Rutland railroad company. Mon
day in tho Office OF the city ,lerk n auit
claim deed from .he lumber company
was filed. showing the transfer of the
property.
The lumber company has reserved a
two years' lease of that norton OF the
property used for mill purposes. It IS
understood that during the time of the
lease the company will use all of the
property not needed by the railroad COM
pany in erecting a new station. This
means that the company's mill work will
go on uninterruptedly until the expra-
ton OF the lease.
The deed from the lumber company to
the railroad company gives the Shepard
G. Morse people a 10000 mortgage on
the property In the grand list of 1911
the property was assessed at $969l6 The
sum paid by the railroad company for
the property is not known. Talk about
town places the price as high as 5000 900.
The deed was signed by Horace r. SheD-
ard. president and agent OF the lumber
company.
The deed gives to the railroad company
all tho rights Of navigation and dockage
occupation and the use of the waters and
basins adjoining said property. In this
property Is included what many persons
term Main street. or the land where Main
street would 20 If 1t were extended to
the lake shore. Any rights the city may
have to this property, II Is said, will not
be detracted from by tho sale.
on 'he extreme north the property ex-
tends from the easterly boundary of Lake
stree, to the property Of James Lang on
battery street. The eastern boundary
extends along the westerly side of Bat
terry street to King street, with the ex-
ceptions Of small properties owned by
Hiram Gokev. Anna Nolan and Mary and
Kate Denning, The southern boundary
extends along the northerlY side of King
street from Battery to the lake. with the
exception of property at the northwest
corner of King and Battery streets.
owned by Max l.. and Lois Powell The
lake front portion extends from tho prop
erty of the Champlain Transportation
company to a point oven with the north
erly line Of Main street, or where Main
street would be If 1T extended to the
waters edge.
If the proposed new station is erected
across the Main street line it would put
an end forever, probably, to the agita-
| tiOn of extending that street to tho lake.
! The Rutland railroad would then. as far
| as any one can soc, have undisputed
possession of that part of the lake front
which Is already provided with dockage
| facilities.
Sequestratlon proceedings have already
been commenced by the railroad company
to gain possession of the other proper
| ties mentioned.
