Hartwick, Jan. 19---a lantern falling to the floor and exploding
was the cause of a fire, which yesterday morning destroyed the entire
contents of a barn on the farm of George B. Lough, two miles from
here. The loss is estimated at $3,000. Mr. Lough carried $1,500 in
insurance.
The owner entered the barn at 6 o'clock to attend to his chores.
He was going overhead upstairs on a ladder to throw down hay, when
the lantern fell and exploded. Mr. Lough was able to save 20 head of
cattle and three horses. A quantity of hay, grain and tools were
destroyed.
