The Fort Mill Burning.
1t was Mr. B. M. Lee instead of Mr..
D. A. Lee, who lost his barn by fire
last week. The following Is from the
Fort Mill Times Of yesterday: B. M.
| Lee, a young farmer OF lower Fort
Mill township had the misfortune
Friday night about 10 o'clock to lose
his barn and stock, two mules and a
cow, by fire. The fire was supposed to
have been of incendiary origin and
when discovered had made such head
way that II was impossible to check
| the flames or remove any OF the con-
tents of the building. The barn was
practically new, having been built
about two years ago. On this there
was $3.50 insurance, but 1t Is under
stood there was no insurance on the
mules. Up to the present time there
| Is no clue as to who fired the barn.
| Mr.. Lee only a short time ago re-
turned to Fort Mill from the west, and
this loss, coming as It did just after
he had equipped himself for the years
work, falls very heavily upon him.
