of thiseSould be regained through The

Barn Destroyed By Fire

A barn on the property owned by
Elwood Metz, on Douglas street. and
occupied by Harry Ham, was burned
Wednesday afternoon, the fire started
it is thought, by some boys playing
with matches.
All the four fire companies, Hibern-
ia, Fleetwing, Union and Columbia,
answered the alarm, but the Union
did not take its steamer up Cottage
Hill, there being no sufficient supply
OF water available. Four chemical
streams were played on the structure
and the fire was prevented from
spreading to other buildings, but the
barn was total loss.
Hundreds of people and scores of
autos were at the scene despite the
hot day and the steep climb.
