About ten o'clock last Sunday night the fire-bell rang out the warning of a blaze, which was discovered to be In W. F. Pitzer's barn. The fire company soon made their appearance and after a half hour of hard work succeeded in suppressing the flames. The fire originated in a coal shed adjoining the barn on the north 'and some think was the work of an incendiary.

From the coal house the fife was soon into the hayloft over the stable and the entire roof was In flames when the boys began throwing water. The roof of the barn is ruined, but the framework was damaged but very little. Dr. Franklin had a box of medical books in the hayloft which are practically ruined. There was no insurance on barn or contents.

The fire company and Superintendent Hogg, of the water works, are each to be commended for their prompt service.
