BARN AND CATTLE
BURNED IN PUTNEY
Early Morning Fire To-day at Walter

Five Cows Lose Lives.
Especial to The Reformer.)


pJINEA, Oct. 10.
A fire. the origin of which is very
mysterious. completely destroyed Walter
Amidons barn this morning. begin
ming at | o'clock The barn was across
the road from the house and was all on
fire inside before anyone discovered 1t.
Mrs Amidon was awakened at l2.3O by
Her little girl crying. and she started
unstairs. where she saw that the barn
was filed with flames and the FIVE COWS
were pulling at their chains. She imme-
diately called to Mr. Amidon and the
three boys. Stanley, Edward and Viii
liam. but by that time there was moth
ing that could he done to save the cows,
which were burned to death. Mr.. Ami
don installed a $500 milking machine
last year, and this was destroyed be-
sides all the winters supply of hay.
Fred Hannum was awakened by the
bright light almost before the boys had
aroused the neighborhoOd. and he called
the central telephone operator, who
telephoned those a little further away.
The paper mill did not have steam
enough to blow the fire alarm at that
time on Monday morning. bat there was
nothing anyone could have done toward
cxtinguishing the fire. After all the
ueighbors had gone home someone rang
the alarm, which aroused people in the
lower part of the town. who up to that
time We're wholly unaware of the fire.
! The loss is heavy TO Mr.. Amidon, as
it was only partly covered by insurance.
