Judge Krickbaum rode on horse back past this nlace iust in the cool of day as we finished a harvest field. After a short conversation he passed on his uiv. and we to our supper. The oricrin of the fire is a profound mystery, A horse, six head of cattle, harness, wagons and all his farm implements went im in smoke. The Tudee. on his way home saw the fire, and return ed only to find a dreadlul contiagra mn of valnahle ruins. The insurance on all the loss probably reaches $1950. Not ten minutes before the fire vfro Knrkhanm was at the Darn, ine hired crirl had only a few minutes be fore finished milking, and Benny Gibbons and young Stauffer were Kittinir bv the road near the barn, and the whole building was a mass of fire before any one discovered it. The women at the house at first could not believe the alarm of fire. The gates and doors were fastened from within and it was imnossible on account of heat to reach the fastenings, and from without the doors could not be open ed to liberate the stock. Urdinaniy it would not seem credible that so n-iii4i nronertv and stock should nerish with men and women around and near the barn. It was a very sudden and speedy ruin. We got there as niiir.klv as possible probably not over twentv minutes after the ap- nearance of smoke, and the timbers aireadv falliner iti. Over a hun dred people from the surrounding neighborhood, in less than half an hour, came to render what help they could. The whole community sym jpathize with the family in this dire calamity. J. C.
