A,.Jiotdorf, iti Thursday, April 21, 1898; Fire Near Kratterville. . t; On Wednesday morning the barn with all its contents, near Krutzer ville, on ihc Martin Matirer farm was burned to the ground, at about ." 30 a. m. Mr. Maurer was up uirly and started away with his team, his wife turned out the cows and every tiling was alright, and iu a short lime after the larn was in flames, how the Are started is a mystery. The on!y cause thus far determined on, is that tramps lodged in the barn and by the use of matches fired the Irnrn as a Iwx of matches was found only a fhort distance from the Imrn, proluibly the tramps vere using matches in the barn and the straw or hay was set afire in this way, and wss burning a slow name wiuic wr, juaurer was yet at home, but as farmers generally liave their fowl all prciwired for. the morning Mr. Maurer did not go to the upiier floor of the barn and did not discover the Are, this is sunixxs- cd the cause, but the fact how the fire originated is notknown. How ever it is a heavy loss to Mr. Maur cr and we sympathize with him. New Berlin Airuv. WEST BEAVER. J. J.
