FARM BUILDINGS BURN
R. w. Cheney Suffers Considerable Loss by
Fine. Caused by Oil Stove Explosion

Late last Friday afternoon the house.
shed and horse barn on the Reuben w.
Cheney farm in the west part of town
were toatally destroyed by fire, to-
gether with practically all the contents.
Mr. and Mrs Cheney were in Morris
vile Friday and returned at about 4:3O
in the afternoon. Mr.. Cheney started a
fire in the oil stove on the back veranda
and went to the barn. In short time
Mrs Cheney's mother discovered that
the woodwork behind the stove was on
fire and notified her daughter. Mrs. Che
ney's cries were heard by Mr.. Cheney,
who hastened to the house. Upon his
arrival the fire had gained such headway
that his efforts to smother the flames
with blankets and rugs proved futile and
soon the flames shot through the open
windows into the house and in a short
time was beyond control. Mrs. Cheney
tried to telephone to W. 6. Baker, a near
neighbor, but was driven from the tele.
phone by the flames and smoke. 1t is
supposed that the oil stove exploded.
The flames spread to the shed and
horse barn, which were in close proxim-
ity with such rapidity that Mr.. Cheney
was unable to save anything, and the
loss included all household goods, cloth
ing, etc, as well as the contents of the
horse barn and shed. In the shed was
large amount of new farm implements,
including a moving machine, horse. pow
er, gasolene engine. Mccormick harves
ter, harrows, manure spreader, etc. In
the horse barn was covered buggy, ex-
press wagon, sleighs, buffalos, blankets,
ETC. A few chairs and very little cloth
ing was saved from the house, but every
thing else was lost, even new suit for
their son. a new hat and other articles
purchased in Morrisville that day. There
was also included in the loss, eleven pals
of fine maple sugar and large quantity
of preserves, the result OF many hard
DAYS work by Mrs. Cheney during the
past few weeks. About 100 cords of
wood burned.
Mr. Cheney carried insurance on the
buildings and contents, but as the build
ings were in first t-class condition the loss
to Mr.. and Mrs Cheney is severe one.
as the amount will but partially cover
the loss. Mr.. Cheney and family are
stopping at the Baker house They ex-
pect to rebuild as soon as possible.
