the fire and Mr.. Glotfelty made des-
perate effort to get the animals out
of the building, but they were so fran
tic with fright that they could not be
driven from the shelter and were burn
ed with it. A granary standing near
by was saved with much effort.
The loss, exclusive of buildings, con-

Jersey bull and ten Jersey heifers,
hogs, about ITS chickens, SO tons of
hay, besides much straw and corn fod-
der, Ford roadster and all the farm
ing implements except a tractor and
pulverizer, which were not stored
inside because of lack of space.
The cause of the fire is not known.
Incendiarism is not suspected, as Mr..
Kinsinger and his family have always
been peaceable people and got along
we'll with their neighbors. This is
very severe loss to both families, as
they worked hard for five years to
bring the farm up ito their standards
J and were succeeding in doing so.
