Fire Sweeps
Boone Barn
AUMSVILLE Fire destroyed a
large barn and chicken house on
the C. D. Boone lace just north
of Aumsville Monday afternoon.
Only 50 of the 350 hens in the
building escaped. There was loose
hay in the barn which caused it
to break into flames very rapidly.
The alarm was turned in to the
fire department by Mrs. Forrest
Murray. A volunteer fire crew
with equipment arrived in record
time and though unable to save
the building, prevented the spread
of the flames into surrounding
dry grass and buildings. The fire
was started by a three-year-old
boy playing with matches.
The place is occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Dodd and' family, who
have it rented. Mr. and Mrs. Dodd
were away at work when the
building burned.
Miss Viola Bradley, -postmistress
working next door to the city
hall, expedited the firemen by
throwing open the hall doors and
getting out the fire truck by the
time the volunteers arrived.
