LARGE HOG HOUSE DESTROYED

The large new hog house on the Premier Stock farm near Knlman was destroyed by fire between 3 and 4 o’clock Monday morning. The building was only recently completed and there was no Insurance. This stock farm is owned by a Chicago company, and President Avery had just returned to Chicago Saturday. The company has a number of high-priced pedigreed hogs on the plape and these had been turned out of the building -before it was fired —for it is practically certain that the fire was of incendiary origin. Only eight small pigs were burned up In the fire.
