A FIEND'S WORK
Fires C. C. Harvey Barn
Filled with Dairy Stock
A fiendish attempt was made by an unknown person to burn the dairy barn and stock of C. C. Harvey, just south of town, at two o'clock this morning.
That the effort was not successful is due to the fact that the fire was seen by the neighbors in time to extinguish it. They were getting up with the sick and saw the blaze and aroused the neighborhood. The men succeeded in getting the cattle out of the barn and, in the meantime, the women carried buckets of water and extinguished the flames. That the fire was the work of an incendiary there can be no doubt as the barn floor was saturated with coal oil and rubbish had been piled up where the flames started. Foot
prints leading from the barn southeast across the field were followed some distance but the trace was lost.
There is no clue whatever to the incendiary excepting the foot prints, but the police are making every effort to locate the criminal. A few dollars will cover the damage, and the building and contents were fully insured. About 20 cows were in the barn at the time.
