Damages which, will probably reach $2.000 resulted from a fire in a barn owned by Wolf and Segal on North street last night. The alarm was rung in through Box 47 at 9:15 o'clock. The fire is believed to have been caused by an oil stove which was lefit in front of the radiator of a Ford delivery truck. The stove was placed there to prevent the radiator from freezing and, exploding, threw the oil on the car, which immediately- burst out in flames. The flames spread through the barn furniture stored there by Segal and Birnbaum, Main street furniture dealers, was de- stroyed. Soda bottles and soda cases owned by Wolf and ‘Segal, soda- makers, were destroved. The barn was badly burned, though not totally ‘destroyed, and the JFord car was dam- aged heyond repair.
