DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

The barns and machinery sheds to-
gether with all their contents on the
Phil Garman farm two miles North
east of Wauseon were totally de-
stroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Garman was finishing the thresh-
ing and having filled his straw barn
was blowing the balance Of the
straw into the covered yard; a little
after four O'Clock he passed around
to the rear Of the threshing machine
to the covered yard and noticed a
blaze in the straw, he at once got a
pail of water from the tank near by
and dashed upon the blaze at the
same time calling for help, but the
blaze spread rapidly and was almost
at once beyond control, within ter
minutes the barn was a mass of fam
es and the fire rapidly spread to the
buildings to the north of the harr
containing clover huller, corn shred
der and all of Mr.. Garman's farm
machinery, All hay and grain from
this seasons harvest were contained
in the barn. One hog was so badly
burned that it was necessary to xii
it. Mr.. Garman carried only limit
ed amount of insurance, not enough
to cover the cost of the buildings.

SEES THE TRAIN
HER GRANDFATHER
RODE ON

Among the interested spectators
at the station Tuesday Morning,
when the Dewitt Clinton special
passed through here, was Mrs. H. T.
Brigham. Her grandfather, John
Lucus, was one of the first men to
ride on the old train. He lived at
Madison, N. Y, and on his way to
New York he heard of the Mohawk
and Hudson Railroad, the original
unit of the New York Central lines.
He went to see the train and to ride
on it. Mrs. Brigham says her grand
father often told her of this wonder
full event and predicted that the
time would soon come when great
railway systems would cross the
American continent. 81 heard SO
much about this old train from my
grandfather that l had to come to
see it," said Mrs. Brigham. Mr.. Lu-
Gus died in 1851 and the record of
railroad construction shows that his
judgment regarding the future of
rail transportation was in no way at
fault.
Probably 500 people were at the
station to see the Dewitt Clinton
special which was hauled by the cele-
brated locomotive "999", the holder
of the worlds speed record, having
made 1928 miles an hour on May the
0. 1893.
