Valuable Horses and q Large Guam
tity of Hay Destroyed. "

Sunday night Andrew Anderson
suffered quite loss by fire on" the
Dancer farm just west of town. Fire
was discovered in the stables about
nine o'clock. The fire destroyed two
stables, burning three horses and
about seventy tons of hay, besides
several sets of harness and guam
tity of small grain. One of the
horses burned was registered Shire
mare, the other horses were two of
the best that Mr.. Anderson owned.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
but it is supposed that matches were
dropped and the mice got them set
ting the fire. The loss was covered
by insurance, yet it is pretty heavy
considering the value of the grain
lost, at market prices.-Lamoni
