The farm buildings near Moose pond
on what is known as the Clifford Hight
place were destroyed by fire, Monday
evening at about O'Clock, with prac-
tically all their contents. The farm
was purchased last summer by Harold
E. Smith. who moved his goods in and
stored them away, both he and his
wife being away at work. The fire
evidently started in the house, and as
the buildings were some distance from
the main road or neighbors, 1t was
we'll under way when discovered and
but little could be saved. The cause
of the fire is unknown.
