.MONTESANO. July 27.-Fire at
O'Clock yesterday morning, destroyed
a barn on what is known as the old
James Arland ranch in the west part
of Montesano. 1t is said some ma.

must have been started by tramps.
Though within the city limits, the
Arland ranch, now owned by Mrs.

fire department got hose and water to
the fire, but it was too late to do
ANYTHING more than protect other
barns and farm buildings.
