I FIRE AT WELLINGTON. Brother cf F. A. Dibble Loses by Fire. From the Wellington. ().. Enter ! prise we clip the following, which : deeply concerns a brother of Frank j A. Dibble of this city. About five I o'clock last Friday morning, soon I i after Mr. L. H. Dibble bud been, ; out to his large barn in the rear of his home to teed his horses, and had sat B down to breakfast, it was discovered flint the barn was afire. Mr. Dibble hurried to the rescue of his five horses tha : ! had alreay been harnessed for the i coining day’s work, but after sev-1 ' real heroic efforts on his part to re-1 lease them from destruction, barely I escape death himself. His face and i i hands were somewhat burned, and . before the department arrived upon , the scene the building was fully en- j I veloped in flames and beyond being > suved. The fire department didi good work immediately upon its] 'arrival, and as good luck would] have it the fresh fall of snow the j night before had covered the adjoin-! ing properties. It was a very hot fire indeed, the flames penetrating ] the air fully fifty feet, while the j sparks were carried by the wind I upon the buildings for a block or ! more away. Under certain condi- ; tions it might have been a far more ' serious conflagration. Mr. Dibble's loss is partly covered by insurance. I He had considerable hay and grain , in the burn, and the people who| responded to the alarm, did all in , their power to save his property. The horses were burned in their stalls, horse like refusing to release themselves, and Mr. Dibble's loss will probably reach $2,500. The ! cause of the fire is not positively known but it is supposed to have eaught from a lantern upturned by ! a dog that was in the barn when Mr. Dibble went to breakfast. Sage A-Co., hold the insurance. Miss Georgia Faust, of Ft. Wayne, is a Chrismas visitor to her parents. Miss Lilia Huffman arrived from Elkhart, today, and will spend the holidays with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Huffman.
