HORSES BURNED
Barn Catches Fire and Twelve Fine
Animals Perish

Animals Perish
Wolford, N. D.. Aug. A large
frame barn on. the Cartwright. place,
about ten miles east Of here, was
burned and twelve out, OF fifteen fine
work horses that were in the barn
persisted in the flames. Eight sets OF
double harness, a wagon, hay rack,
and a large. quantity of. hay and feed
were also burned.
The halter hopes Of the three horses
that escaped from the building appar-
emily had been. u as the ends were
smooth and they were all about the
same length. This. together with the
fact that the fire originated in the
loft, leads to the belief that the fire
was accidentally set by some hobo
sleping In the barn and that he cut
the ropes before making his getaway.
The building was insured but Mr..
Cartwright. who owned the horses
and other contents, will be a heavy
loser. as he carried no insurance.
