SMALL BARN BURNED
on North Street Completely
N Destroyed This Noon. II,

Fire, starting between II and 1920
o'clock this afternoon destroyed a
small barn located in the rear and to
the north of Edward w. Lundergan's
house on North street. The loss is
small is. complete.
The barn was owned by H. Harry
Levin of Manchester and was leased
for stable purposes by Winslow &
Craven, plumbers and Harry Cum
mings, tinsmith. Mr.. Cummings
horse was in one of the stalls at the
time the fire started but was taken out
without injury. The personal proper
ty Of the lessons of the barn, including
wagons, harness, ETC.. was also saved
Thoroughly dried by the weather
that has prevailed for nearly, two
weeks the wooden structure burned
fiercely. The heat was intense and
the fire communicated to the shingled
roof of the Lundergan house. The
fire department responded quickly and
as soon as the apparatus was in op-
Grafton Chief Sears directed that the
Lundergan house be thoroughly
drenched before any attention was
paid to the barn. A stream quenched
the smoking shingles before the fire
made its way through the roof of the
dwelling and slight damage from
smoke only was sustained inside the
house.
Mr.. Lundergan, who has not been
in the best of health recently, suffered
temporary collapse due to the ex-
element and intense heat. He was
taken across the street and quickly re.
covered.
1t is impossible to more than guess
at the cause of the fire which started
on the second floor of the barn. Mr..
Cummings horse was put into its stall
at noon and there were no signs of fire
at the time, A dropped match or Gig.
arctic butt may have been responsible.
There was nothing on the second floor
Of the barn but hay.

In general the complainants whose
names were withheld allege that Dor.

cially on militiamen and hardship on
their families. The secreary replied
to all those seeming to merit attek

The department appreciates, Mr..
Baker said in one Letter, the fact that

SlAvS GAIN ON S1OKHOD
Have Broken Through Austrian Lines
and Menace Carpathian
Passes.

Petrograd, Aug. 21.-Further ad-
vances have been made at some points
along the line of the lower Stokhod,
where they broke through the Austro-
Hungarian defenses last night, while
in the Carpathians they are pressing
vigorously through two OF the passes
which lead to Hungary.
Following the announcement last
week of advances in the vicinity of
Korosmezo, which is just over the bor-
der in Hungary, the War Office today
reported gains in the pass east of this
region, leading south from Kuty. The
capture OF Jablonitza and Feresku, on
the Cheremosh River, which forms the
boundary between Galicia and the Bu
kowina, Is announced. Jablonitza is
about twenty miles north Of the Hun
garian border.
1t is impossible at the present time
to say whether the Russian attack
upon Kovel from the Stokhod region
continues with it's original energy, but
the belief seemst prevail here that
the discovery of series of strong Ger
man Notifications protecting Koyel
from the east led the Russian Staff to
base it's hopes of taking the city by
strong flank attacks, which are now
developing
This is considered to account for the
desperate German attacks in the
region of Lake Nobel, where they are
trying to prevent the Russian occupa
tion of the marshy land south of the
Stokhod, which would constitute a
serious menace to the left flank OF
the German forces whose base is, Ko
vel, and prove a valuable vantage
point to General Kaledines in the pres
sure he is exerting from the south.
