Another Barn and Contents Burned.

Fire early Sunday morning destroyed the barn and corn cribs on a farm in Union tp., about 2 miles northwest of Parr, occupied by Shi ndler Brothers. The farm is one recenty presented to Mrs. Harry Kurrie by herTather, Judge Thompson. The barn and crib were good new buildings, worth 8500 or S6OO. The Shindler Bros, lost still heavier. They lost a good threshing machine, all their harness, baggy and other implements, considerable hay etc. Their loss will probably reach SBOO or more. There was no insurance on barn or contents. The origin of fire is not known. It seems to have started in the threshing machine and the Shindlers think it was started intentionally by some one.
