The barn on the old Coburn farm,
now owned by Elmer Gordon, was
burned during the shower of Satur-
day afternoon together with eonsid-
cradle machinery stored therein. No
one has lived on the place for some
years. The house which is of the
old-fashioned two-storied kind, was in
no time endangered although had the
flames been communicated to the
stable the dwelling would probably
have ignited. To save the stable a
bucket brigade was formed and after
a hard fight the building was saved.
1t is very probable that the barn will
not be rebuilt. 1t was insured EX-
