Fire destroys barn and eight horses on Renitch farm

Last Thursday a fire swept the barn on Mrs. D. L. Rentch’s farm near Shephenstown along the Martinsburg road, killing eight horses and destroying the structure valued around 700 to 200 while insurance coverage stood at 400. Neighbors battled the blaze with wells and buckets to save the dwelling, corrals, and 500 bushels of corn. no water for the town engine hindered suppression. A suspected intruder, possibly sleeping in the barn, started the flames by lighting matches. The loss also included ten tons of hay, fodder, and farming implements, totaling about 1300 dollars. The fire was visible as far as Hagerstown and Martinsburg.
