Relatives and friends of Mr.. and

them a surprise party at their home, |

Awakened late Monday night by the
bright glare of flames, Roland Beau
champ "a young farmer, in Prime .
Hook Neck, found that his barns and |
stables were on fire. Rushing to tie
stables he succeeded in rescuing his
horses and mules. He then turned out
his cattle. While he was at this work
of rescue his dwelling became ignited
and despite the efforts of neighbors,
who were attracted to the scene by
the reflection of the blaze, every build
ing on the place, except hen house,
was destroyed. Aid was asked from
Milford, but by the time the fire COM
pany from that town arrived the
flames had destroyed all the build
ings, together with the stored gram
and feed. 1t is thought the fire started
in the straw filled pound, because
when Mr.. Beauchamp came out OF the
house the pound was swept bare by
the fire aud then communicated to the
barns and stables. A high wind that
prevailed carried the blaze from the
stable to the frame dwelling and soon
destroyed it.
