The building and all its contents, consisting of a large quantity of hay, straw, grain, wagons and other vehicles, three horses and two mules, were consumed in a short time, By the heroic work of the firemen John Cald- well’s barn near by and other buildings were saved, The fire started back of the horses and it appears to have been the work of an incendiary.
