Nagel’s Barn Burned.

Tue»day’« Daily. The barn on Michael Nagel’s placs, o half mile southwest of the town limits, was].burned about 6 o’clock this morning. The horses were rescued, but all the other con-

tents of the barn were burned* This included a considerable quantity of oats and hay, some corn, harness and a buggy. The origin of the fire is not known. It is thought the extent of the loss will be S3OO or S4OO. There is a pretty large insurance on the property, though probably not enough to cover the loss. The barn belonged to J.D. Babcock who lately bought the place. It was not insured.
