FIRE IN MILFORD NECK
DESTROYS LARGE BARN

The flames from a fire in Milford
Neck last Tuesday evening, October
3. illuminated the heavens for miles
around. The scene was the large
stock barn on a farm formerly OWN
ed by Edward Beswick, in Milford
Neck, near Herring's Corner, which
was entirely consumed with its con-
tents; except that all the live stock
escaped. The farm is tenanted by
Paynter Reynolds, and the owner is
Andrew Martin, who came from
Montana five years ago and bought
the property. He now resides at Hoe
kessin. The Milford firemen respon-
ded to the alarm, but the fire was
beyond control before they got into
service, so attention was turned to
saving the other outbuildings and
the residence; all being saved with
out serious damage. The origin OF
the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Martin was interested in raw
furs, and bought the Beswick farm
because of the great colony of musk
rats making it their habitat. He
Travelled along the Atlantic coast
from Delaware to Florida during the
trapping season. and is regarded as
a man of substantial fortune. NIL
ford Neck annually provides during
the winter and trapping season oc-
cupation for scores of men who ga
ther a substantial income from the
fur-bearing animals along the Della
ware Bay shore.
