HEARD WINDOWS CRACKING.
Miss Maud Hosford Woke Up to Find
Barn at Corinth Ablaze.

Corinth. Dee 20. Friday morning at
Q O'Clock, Miss Maud Hosford was
awakened by the cracking of her win
dows. She arose and discovered that
her barn was in flames. Charles East
man saw the light at about the same
time and telephoned the fire alarm, to
which several responded and cleared
most of the furniture from the lower
floor, but the major part of her cloth
ing and other valuables were upstairs
and were entirely consumed, which IN
cluded trunks of her stage apparel. Her
health would not permit her to accept
an actress position and she was living
alone at her summer residence.
The origin of the fire is great mys
terry .sas there was nothing infammable
in the barn and there had been no
lights or lanterns in there to her
knowledge.
Miss Hosford is a fayorite with all
her neighbors and acquaintance, so it
seems hardly possible that the fire
could have been incendiary, unless some
tramp set it by accident, but no tramp
had been noticed in the vicinity. Miss
.Hosford, is at G. B. Blake's for the pres
ent.
Great sympathy is expressed for her
loss. She had large assortment of
valua BILE antiques, which were con
sumed, together with small sum of
money.
