Three corn cribs and a bran new | barn, just completed and valued at 00, were burned to the ground on Marshall Wolfe's farm, the bridge, in Osage township, Thursday evening last. tained about near The’three cribs con- 500 bushels of corn, jwhich was a total loss. The corn belonged to Mr. Wolfe and his ten- ‘ant, J.C. Ray. Mr. Ray also lost | quite a lot of agricultural implements |which he had stored away in the ‘barn. The fire was caused bya little grandson of Mr Ray's, aged about | five years, striking a match to a pile jof shucks under one of the corn ‘cribs, which stood near the barn. 'The little fellow had noticed his grandfather burning patches of grass about the place, and this, it is sup- | posed, was the incentive for him \ setting fire to the shucks, which led ‘to the destruction of the above property. { | | at Hoffman's Novelty Store. { | REDUCED PRIU | A Special Offer for Fifteen Days. | For the next fifteen days we have | decided to give our customers. and ' all others who favor us with a.call, a ‘benefit.
