LARGEST BARN IN COUNTY .
BURNED TO THE GROUND.
$12,000 Loss to A. M. Rishel, of Belle-
fonte.— Barn Located Near Axe-
mann.
What is said to have been the largest
barn in Centre county,on the A. M.
Rishel farm, located west of Axemann,
on the Boalsburg pike, burned to the
ground on Sunday evening, entailing
a loss of $12,000 to Mr, Rlshel, with in-
surance to the amount of §3.600.
The fire had its origin in the hay
mow where it smouldered from four
o'clock until seven when it broke out in
flames. Four big mows in the barn
contained 200 tons of hay and it is sup-
posed that spontaneous combustion set
in, resulting in the terrible loss.
