EARLY MORNING FIRE
Blaze Docs About S20O Damage at Clarll's Barn on Main Sncct-Eirc- men Do Good Work.

The fire department Was Caited out at 6:5o o'clock this morning by an alarm from Box 42 at lhc corner of Main and East Main streets. for a blaze in a barn owned by Joseph II. Clark at the rear of 505 Main street. On arrival on the scene, the tiremen found lively blaze, which originated from a temporary brick furnace on the second floor of the building, The barn is used as a garage by the Beck mann brothers, and in the lower part of the barn, several horses belonging to John Pope were kept.
 The timely discovery of the blaze probably aNcrtod moro serious re- suit, and the fire fighters were able to subdue the flames with q loss of about $200. Considerable difficulty was experienced in rcsculng the horses, but all were taken Out in safety. In 1920, there was a serious blaze on the same premises, the dam age at that time cntailing several thousands of dollars, when 14 auto mobiles were destroyed.
