Saturday afternoon the barn at
the rear Of the lot where Mrs. Geo
Blacks residence is located, was,
together with its contents, practi-
cally destroyed by fire. 1t is be-
lieved that children playing with

house next to the barn and that
heavy wind drove the flames to the
barn setting on fire it's interior
which was filled with, books, furni-
ture and other inflammable mater
ials, and in almost an instant it
was a mass of flames. The fire de-
partment responded quickly, and it
was only through it's efficiency that
the blaze did not spread to other
nearby buildings, for as stated
there was brisk breeze.

son-in-law Mr.. Ward T. Van Or
man and family of Akron. The loss
by the fire is several hundreds Of
dollars, with but 500 insurance.
