Bethany. ýAn early estimate set damage At more than $35,000. The cause s flt known.

She woke 41r. Lowes who ran to the barn, about 150 yards from the house and tried to open a heavy door into thé cattie pens. It was frozen shut and Mr. Lowes trained himself trying to open f.He was treated by Dr. Stew- art Speller for injury and shock ai'd ordered to bed. Only eight sows, kept outside the main barn, were saved. The _gs were Yorkshires. Mrs. Lowes sent in the alarm %Ihich was flashed over the ru ral telephone line by Addison Co Scott, nigbt operator. Neigh- bors rushed ta help, but were unable to* stop the fire. When first seen, the flames had con- trol of the entire lower floor of the ba-n. Several cars were damaged in minor collisions on the icy roads while travelling to the fire. The portable tire engine fromn Bethany was flot taken out, for it was realized as useless, the tire had gaincd too much headway before it was discovered. The barn, remodelled and en- larged just a year ago, was one o! th~e landmarks in the country- side, the main barn being about 40 x 100 feet and the attached efl about 30 x 60 feet, with hip roof. The flames tromn the burning building could be seen for many nilies and people came from far and near, but had to stand belp- less to do anything. Wind was not a factor in spreadiiAg the fire and at no timne was the bouse threatened. The damage is partly covered by i-isurance.
