u O'Clock Tuesday morning in. the
V 7O-foot horse shed on the Morrisville
Q fairgrounds, remodelled two years

e burned it to the ground. The fire
: alarm was sounded and was supple
i. mented by an engine at the station,
and the fire company responded
promptly. Before they could arrive,
however, the roof of the building hac
fallen in and was soon mass OF
Goals, the large amount of bedding ii
the stalls burning like finder. Near
ly everything was saved and only one
horse was burned. This animal, Lady
), Chime, bay PAGER, owned by Harry
e Alderman, South Vernon, was badly
L burned. There are many stories con
corning the origin, and while the ex
y act facts can only be guessed at, it il
{ very probable that a match in the
4 Z hands Of some irresponsible party
y started the blaze. The fire broke Oh
: at about the center of the shed. The
u man in charge Of the horse in thai
- stall says he was awakened by thu
smell of smoke and finding he coult
f.. not check the fire, turned the hors
= loose and gave the alarm. The los
y is considerable as there was no insur
ance.
