BARN AND STOCK BURNED
 AT JUDGE NOTES PLACE

Fire of unknown origin. did s5,o00 damage Saturday night at the Old Lyme country estate of Walter Chadwick Noyes formerly federal judge and now resident of Old Lyme. The flames de stroyed the barn and six head of stock, and for time threatened the adjoining sheds and piggery. Fifty tons of hay were burned and a large quantity of tools disappeared during the fire, it is reported.
 The fire was discovered by E. R. Chapman of Laysville, who was passing along the road about 8 o'clock, and no- ticed the flames rising from the barn. The alarm was hastily spread, bucket brigade was formed, and every effort made to fight the fire As the only water procurable was from pond half mile away, the fire fighters were considera bly handicapped. A call was sent to New London for aid and the Konomoc appara- tus responded. The Pequot company was sent later and 1000 feet of hose was laid from the pond to the scene of the blaze By this means the fire was prevented from spreading to the adjoining build- ings
 Judge Moves is at present in New York. Last October Judge and Mrs Moves observed their silver wedding an- niversary and entertained more than 5oo guests at their Old Lyme estate. The estate is famous throughout that section of Connecticut for it's wonderful fields of roses. These are believed to have escaped destruction.
