FIRE AT WHEELER

Last Sunday afternoon about five
o'clock, the frame barn and contents
belonging to William Watson of the
village of Wheeler, was destroyed by
fire. A quantity Of hay, top buggy,
and harnesses, miscellaneous farm
tools, and a fine work team, valued
at about six hundred dollars were
lost.
The peculiar feature of the fire
was the fact that Mr.. Watson was at
home, and within five rods of the
barn, and yet did not discover the
fire until the whole barn was a mass
of flames. The origin Of the fire is
unknown.
The loss Is probably about $500,
and only partly covered by insur-
ance. The loss to Mr.. Watson IA
greater by reason Of the loss Of his
team at time when he most needs
them.
