totally destroyed the fine large barn 48x70 and all the seasons crop threshing operations were in pro gress when the men suddenly saw a flame of fire near the mouth of the blower and in only a few moments the entire building was engulfed in flames although twelve men were present at the threshing they could save nothing excepting the horses in the stabling underneath the loss included all the vehicles in the driving shed also the whole seasons crop and other articles the threshing machine belonging to fred hunt was also consumed by the flames and even the engine was threatened so rapid did the fire spread the crop included some 1b00 bushels of sraln and 25 tons of hay a small insurance was car ried on the contents and building but mrhunt had no insurance on his machine many conjectures are offered as to the probable cause of the fire the popular theory being that a match had been dropped in the straw some time or other which would ignite passing through the machine it ls expected that mr smithwho has owned the farm for many years will have a new barn constructed this fall fortunately nearly all live stock was in the fields when the fire occurred or it would have perished as
