fire destroyed the barn, containing sev-

tons of hay, a lot of peanuts. and a
mare and her colt, all belonging to Mr..

While it was a heavy loss to Mr..
Shepherd, he says he was very fortu-

feet separated a shed-room attached to
the store from the burning barn, and it
is a miracle that any of it was saved.
