FARM BUILDING BURNED -
On Monday afternoon about 3
O'Clock, fire was discovered among
the outbuildings of Isaac G. Lap
ham, a mile beyond Clayton on the
Kenton road, and the horse stable,
COW stable, shed and barracks were
speedily destroyed. The stock was
all saved and the farming imple-
ments, except power feed cutter
The barn, fruit evaporator and
stable were fortunately on the
windward side or they too would
have been consumed. Mr.. Lapham
was sick abed, and his son Edward
and the hired men were absent
when the confiagration was discov-
cred. Help. however, was soon at
hand from various directions. The
stable was only two years old and
very complete in its construction
appliance, cement floor, rat
proof, etc All of his provender
was consumed The loss was
about S2,5OO; insured in the Kent
County Mutual and Fire Associa-
ton Of Philadelphia for 81 900
They are at a loss to account for
its origination. A man had been
there to gear horse some time be-
fore and there was no one about
the house but a fourteen year old
boy who first discovered the flames.
They feel assured in any event, it
was the result of an accident.
