The Lee Nivens Barn Burned.
Fort Mill Times: Sunday night
at about II o'clock the big barn on
the old Jas. Nivens place, three miles
north Of Fort MILL was destroyed by
fire, together with one mule, one COW,
Ave hogs, one bale Of seed cotton, a
quantity Of cotton seed, fodder and
hay. The building was owned by the
estate Of Lee s. Nivens and the loss of
its contents falls upon A. c. Wallace,
who has worked the place for sew
eral years. It could not be learn
ed at what figure Mr.. Wallace esti-
mated his loss, but 1t doubtless
amounted to several hundred dollars.
The fire was first thought to have been
Of incendiary origin. Mr.. Wallace
had been away from his home Sum
day night but returned about 1890
o'clock The mule he had driven was
placed in its accustomed stall along
side a stall usually occupied by anoth-
er mule, but this animal had been
turned into the lot and five hogs
fastened in the stall. Upon enter
ing the hallway Of the barn, Mr.. Wal
lace noticed that the ladder leading
to the loft was not In its accustomed
place, but paid little attention to this
fact. He entered his home, a hum
dred yards distant, and had scarcely
retired when aroused by the roar of
the flames. When the family reached
the barn, the building was enveloped
with fire to such an extent that it was
impossible to save any Of Its con-
tents.
