Barn and Stock
Destroyed by Fire
G.. F. Rain Loses Barn and Otto Muet-
eel Twenty-Five Head of Stock in
Mondays Fire

The barn on the G. F. Rain farm,
Icing just southeast of Belview, was
burned to the ground early Monday
morning. The fire was discovered at
about two o'clock, but the flames had
made such Roadway that it was inn
possible to save the barn or the stock
housed in it. The stock consisted of
ten head Of horses and dozen cows,
all of which were totally destroyed.
Otto Muetzel, the tenant of Mr..
Rain owned the stock, which was in
sured for only part of its value, as
was the barn. Mr.. Rahn's loss is
about $1,000 on the barn, and MIR.
Muetzel's about $4,000 on the horses
and cattle. So far no cause has been
discovered for the fire.
Mr.. Rain suffered from fire loss
on this same farm about two years
ago, when a barn was completely de-
stroyed by fire. At that time the loss
was very great as there was prac-
tically no insurance.
