FIRE NEAR PAYNESVlLlE,

Last Saturday afternoon while Hor-
ace Sheldon was absent from home
Ills workshop caught fire, destroying it
and the machine shed next to it. All
the work tools, about SO bushels of
barley, binder, sleigh, buggy and drill
are almost total loss. Mr.. Sheldon
estimates the damage at about $1,000,
with no insurance.
Just how the fire started is not
known. There had been fire in the
stove during the forenoon and at IL
o'clock apparently everything was all
right. The supposition is that a de-
| fective chimney caused the fire. The
section crews from the 500 and G.. N
gave valiant aid, and prevented the
fire from spreading to other buildings
about the farm. Had it not been fol-
their timely aid the damage would
no doubt have been much greater
