BIG BARN BURNS
TO GROUND; team
and CATTLE LOST
Barn on Harley Redick Farm
Near Jenera Destroyed
Tuesday Night
Structure Built Four Years Ago
on Site of Barn Which
Burned Down

A large barn on the Harley Red
ick farm near Jenera was completely
destroyed by fire of undetermined
origin Tuesday night.
Lost in the fire were a team of
horses, four head of young cattle, a
manure spreader, cultipacker, corn
shredder, and quantity of hay.
The barn, located three-quarters
of a mile north and a half mile
west of Jenera, had been built four
years ago after a fire had destroyed
another barn on the Redick farm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Redick were at the
home of Mrs. Redick's father,
Charles Hartman, who lives quart
er of a mile east of the Redicks,
when the fire started. Between
and 8:15 p. m. they saw the barn
in flames.
The fire had too great a start for
any livestock or machinery to be re-
moved from the building.
The Jenera volunteer fire depart
ment answered the call and was able
to save a nearby shed. BY $3.50 the
barn was in smoldering ruins but
the other buildings were out of dan
ger.
The barn was at least partially
covered by insurance.

Original papers are marked "com-
pensation applied for" and sent to a

veteran and the photostats are placed
with the application.
Three crews will work "a hours a
day at the photostat machine, turn
