Barns Are Burned

SOnnnueO from fh&e One
in the barn on the farm of Bernard
Martin. at Pcrkiomcn Junction, early
yesterday morning.
When flames were seen near Paoli
last night tn" ragged nerves of farmers
and State police were shaken after
the terror of the night before. It was
thought the frebugs were at work
ngnin and armed posses started out in
motor cars to patrol all roads.
The alarm was caused by a fire In
the residence of Warren Hires Turner
on Drooks:dc Farm. near Paoli. II
was caused by defective wiring, but the
fact was not known through the
countryside for long time nfter the
reflection Of the blaze died out. The
report Of the fire served to start Major
Wilhelm and his men on the jump
again after their all night and day in
vcstigation.
Children Saved From Smoke
The fire was discovered by Mr.. Tur-
ner nbout 80 o'clock. Smoke was
coming up from the basement. Mrs.
Turner phoned TO the laoli Fire Com
pany, while her husband rushed m
stairs and awakened their four chill
dren, Warren, ten years; Albert. eight {;
Jack, five. and Joyce, nine months.
Smoke was filing the bedrooms when
Mr.. Turner assembled the children and
carried the baby outside. wher" thev

only by blankets. until they we're taken
to the home of Richard Haughton. The
Turner home. n stone structure. is said
to be about 900 years old. 1t was re.
modelled recently.
Firemcn checked the flames after con-
siderable damage had been caused TO
the interior of the house by water,
chemicals and the tearing up OF floors
