$35,000 Damage .
by Everett Newswaiigcr
Staff Reporter
A Are of undetermined or
igin swept through a 50x90
frame and stone barn late
Monday afternoon on the
farm of Mrs. Sadie Esh,
Ronks Rl, located northwest
of Gordonville. Loss of the
building and contents, in
cluding the year's supply of
hay and straw, some imple
ments and three acres of
tobacco, was estimated at $35,-
000 by Robert Baxter, Gor
donville Fire Chief.
The big problem faced by
the firemen from the eight
responding companies was the
lack of a close water supply.
Water was brought two miles
from the Pequea Creek. A
brisk wind endangered the
farm house at first, Baiter
said. But later tho wind
calmed and firemen were
able to save the house as
well as the corn barn full of
corn, milk house and other
surrounding buildings. live
stock, including cows and
horses, was also saved.
While this reporter was at
the scene, firemen and farm
ers climbed to the barn floor
over the front cow stable to
remove tons and tons of burn
ing and smoking straw in the
hope of keeping the upper
story from 'falling on the cow
stalls. A dangerous undertak
ing at hest, they also were
hampered by lack of adequate
water.
