An early morning fire destroyed Herbert S. Cavanaughs barn on Lovers Retreat road near Bath. About 10 tons of hay were lost, with total damage near $2,000. Spontaneous combustion was considered a possible cause, while two unidentified passersby alerted Bath fire crews at 1.50. The barn, uninsured against the structure, was a total loss but did not threaten the nearby timber or Cavanaugh homestead across the river. Firefighters prevented further spread after dialing in from box 511.
