ANOTHER BAD FIRE
   Last Friday night a big light northwest of town told that a fire was in progress, and the following morning
it was learned that the large barn on Jake CLEMAN's place had been burned.  It seems that one of his men was
working in the barn after dark and his lantern was overturned.  The man got frightened and rushed out to give
the alarm, and the opening of the door supplied a draft for the fire and it was soon beyond all control, so
the barn was totally destroyed in a short time.   It has not been possible to learn what the exact loss was,
but it was heavy, without a cent of insurance.  The barn contained a self-binder, a mower, three wagons, four
sets of harness, several plows and other implements, two carloads of baled hay and a one-year-old coach colt;
plus a big load of seed wheat, and not a thing was saved out of the lot.
