| Fire at the George Lane place above
! the School street crossing destroyed the
barn and house early Wednesday morn
| ing. The late call and the absence of any
water made impossible to save either
house or barn and both were destroyed.
The stock in the barn was mostly saved
and some of the household goods. but the
buildings were destroyed, save small out
buildings on the place. The origin of the
fire is not known. and there seems no
satisfactory explanation of this except
that it must havebeen a lantern in the
hands of the hired man. who went to the
barn to feed the stock about five 'o'clock.
