from the shore. The boys tried
to climb into the boat and in do

J. t. King Loses/
Barn and Cow

o'clock Saturday evening when
the big barn belonging to Jerry
M. King mysteriously caught fire
and was completely destroyed.
In the barn was Mr.. Kings fine
Jersey COW which persisted in
the flames which seemed to have
started in the haymow directly
above where she stood.
The volunteer fire department
responded promptly but as it is
quite distance to travel. the
main part of the barn, which
was about 16x1S feet, with a
good sized haymow, and lean-to
sheds, was enveloped in flames.
Two lines of hose were used by
the firemen and they first work
ed to save the garagewhich stood
close by, and the barn on the
cast side which belongs to Mr..
Stewart, recently purchased
from Mr.. Olson. The garage
was about 20 feet away on the
west side and the Stewart barn
about 80 feet on the east. The
latter, however was protected by
a row of poplar trees. The heat
from the blaze had ignited the
the leaves on the trees and the
paint on the building was blister
ed and smoking, just ready to
blaze when the water was thrown
on. Attention was then given to
the main blaze but it was By
that time too far gone to save
anything except few charred
boards and a part of the frame
of sheds on the south side which
remained standing.
A large number Of people
lQame from over town and q
String Of automobiles filled the
street in front.
Besides the COW Mr.. King lost
his farm wagon. about $50 berry
crates and some farm tools.
Mrs Stewart next door was the
first on the scene and gavs assist.
ance by helping to get a light
spring wagon and numerous
other articles out. Her face
was blistered by the heat.

only a few minutes before and
going into the haymow, threw
down some hay to the COW. lie

matches about him. and has moi
the slightest idea as to now the
fire could have originated. 1t is
suggested that it might have
been lightning or from spontain
eous combustion.
He had turned his horse into
the little pasture on the lot or i,
probably would have burned also.
He had gone into the house anc
the family was seated at the
table when one of the Rev. Pip
kin's boys came in and told then
the barn was on fire. Looking
out they could see the flame,
bursting thru the roof.
Mr.. King thought first of tn,
COW and ran to rescue her, bu
as he opened the door the smok,
was 80 thick and the heat s.
great that he could not get nea
where she was. He then grabbe,
the spring wagon and pulled i
out and then ran to the garag
and ran his Overland car to
