Mclutyre on the 'Jih cooces- 8 on of Brant about three o'clock on Tuesday luoruitig. The batn which was one of the largest in the townstiip, was also well tilled with implements, inclul- ing a pnrtable steam threshing engine, together with some ItiOO bushels of grain and a lar^te crop •>( luy and s'raw, all of which were des'ixiyed in the conHavratioii. t>f the entire contents. .f')Ur hoises iiid seven cows were aloue saved. The origin of the hie, which it si^posed to have .stirted in the straw mow, is a mystery, as no lantern had been .nuar the barn that night, the owner haviiij; been away all eveiiii'y attending a i'mniers' Club meeting along with the retii of neighbors, and on returning about luidn ght bad sti»ghtway retired. He was awakened about three o'clock by « glare i>n his window, and lo.<king out ^.tiscovered his barn in tl.iMies. His sister, who resides with him, suinnuaied the neighbors by telephone, while Mr. Mclutyre rushed to the rescue of bis sinek. Wtil« loosening the horses, he wa.* kicked by one of them on the thigh, and knocked to ^the floor, while seveial of the animak passed over him. Luckily be was able to grope his way out, for before help arrivud live part be was in was entirely envelo[)ed in tlames, and he must surely have perished in the blaze had h:s injury been such that ho couldn't have m.ade his way out unaid- ed . .\s it '.ras he wss severUy burned about the h ^ad and neck. Of the twenty, tive cattle buriud, eight of tiieiii were f^.t s.eers, which hi<d been sold and were 'o be delivered this wtek.
