Fire Gutts East Town Barn on Schofield Estate
An old log barn in the east part of town owned by the Schofield estate was gutted by fire Tuesday evening about 7 30. The origin is unknown and the blaze started in the hay loft. George Curry occupied the barn with hay grain and harness but had not used it for weeks. The door was locked and had to be broken to enter, allowing the fire to gain headway before the water turned on. The building was ruined, saved only as fire wood.
