.BUFFUM HOME GONE

Chimney May Have Been Defective -
Rev. Mr.. Buffum Was in Keene to
See Wife in Hospital.
WINCHESTER. N. IL. Jan. l

WINCHESTER, N. H., Jan. IL.
"Hillside,O the beautiful home of
Rev. +. II. Buffum, three and a half
miles east of this village, was totally
destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.
When discovered the fire was rapidly
gaining Roadway in the north end of
the house. Its origin is uncertain, but
theories of a defective chimney or
spontaneous combustion seem to be re-
ceived with the most credence.
The fire burned slowly, owing to n
wind blowing in the opposite direction,
and it was more than an hour before the
building was fiat. The fire department
responded from this village, but there
was nothing for them to do, as the house
was doomed long before adequate as
sistance arrived.
Miss Marion Buffum was the only
member of the family to arrive on the
scene after the fire was discovered; she
had gone to a neighbor' IS a few rods
away. Mr.. Buffum had gone to Keene
to see his wife, who is in the hospital
there.
a quantity of the household furni-
ture was removed from the burning
building, including the valuable library
of Mr.. Buffum, which contained many
volumes difficult to replace, many of
them being gifts of friends.
There was more or less CONSERVATION
when several shells, relics of the Civil
war which Mr.. Buffum had carefully
preserved, exploded with thunderous re.
ports.
The property was taxed for $1,000
but it is certain the house alone could
not be replacpd for several fines that
figure. Mr.. Buffum carried insurance
but the amount could not be Learned
yesterday afternoon.
