The fire originated in the barn under the stairs and in a very short time spread to the upper part of the building. large quantity of hay in the structure adding to the fierce ness of the blaze. The aperture for the stairs made a good draft. The house was about 20 feet from the barn and was soon on fire. It was occupied by Fred Moore, son of the owner and Martin Mattesen. Mrs. Mattesen was ill in bed, but had plenty of time to get out. The Mattesen's saved some of their furniture and carried insur ance. They will have but little loss if any. Fred Moore carried no insur- Ancs on his furniture or contents of the barn, and excepting some of the furniture saved his loss will be total. There was $2,OOO insurance on the house and $4OO on the barn. The value of the house and barn was about $4, 900. An alarm was rung in as soon as word could be telephoned and the department responded.
