The boy had been looking i s R out of the window and suddenly he 3 turned to his lather and told him that The local fire department was busy | he could see smoke coming from the barn. Mr. Williams fmmediately went outside and found that the barn was burning from inside. Not baving a telephone at the house. he sent the boy to a neighboring house to tele- phone for the fire department, but be- fore the boy had done so somepne had rung in the alarm from box 2§. The fire trucks experienced trouble in get- ting to the fire and when a line of hose had heen Jaid there was nothing left of the barn but the shell, the roof hav- ing fallen within 15 minutes after the fire was discovered. ‘The recall was sounded within 20 minutes after the firemen appeared upon the scene, but {the fire was not put out until some | time after, as the hay In the barn con- tinued to burm. The barn, which was owned by the Buck estate. and valued at about $1.000, was partially covered by insur- ance. For the past few vears it had been used by William A. Buck to store hay and farm produce in, but at the ime of the fire it was nearly empty. only a little hay and what few tools neighbors had left in it heing lost in the fire. The eause of the fire Was un- known, but it Is thought fhat boys had been in the barn during the day enjol- ing a smoke and had left a lighted cigarette where it had set fire to the hay R The driver of the fire truck from Engine company No. 1 tried to take a short cut to the fire by the way of a nearby zarden but became so_deeply when two fire alarms were thin 12 hours of each other. fire of the day was at 5.45 in the morning, when a fire out in the boiler house of the -story barn and situated 7 High street caught the ground.
