eral hours in the barn and out build
lngs of farm tenanted by David
Clark, about one mile west of Middle
town, on the Choptank road. The
blaze spread so rapidly that only time
enough was given to turn the COWS

with all his horses and the LETTERS in
the cow stable, was sought in vain by
Mr.. Clark and his help, but she flames
had enveloped all entrances ard they
had to stand by and see them perish.
Only the farm house itself and a few
head of cattle were saved from the
flames All of the farm implements,
and large quantities of fodder were
destroyed as well as the stables and
sheds. The damage to the property,
which is owned by Mrs. Julian H.
Foard, of Middletown, is estimated at
more than $4,000. This added to the
loss of stock and farming implements
will amount to several thousand more.
The origin of the fire has not been de-
termined. A motorist, driving down
the road shortly before 3 o'clock yes
terday morning saw the flames and
aroused Mr. Clark who sent in an
alarm when he saw that the fire was
out Of control. Fire compan-
les from Odessa and Middletown re-

save the cattle and prevent the fire
from spreading to the house, it had
