Barn Burned.

I. J. Porter’s farm at his tenant property in Thompson’s addition, was destroyed by fire last Saturday evening. The farm was being used by Rush & Warren, who lost a horse, harness and some grain. Their loss is about $l5O and Mr. Porter’s the same. The fire is supposed to have been started by children.
