Zimmerman near the Burlington de-

tiercely. Mr. Zimmerman had moved
from the house the previous day, but

no one occupying the place, and the
origin of the fire is a mystery, but
it is thought to have been set on
fire by tramps who went there to
sleep. The house was SO far gone

saved, and the fire boys waited be-

in and then put out the embers. The
house was owned by w. l.. Barry, be-
ing valued as about $400 and was
insured for $3.50.
