but the roof had caved in and the
walls fallen when the fire truck
reached the scene.
The wind was blowing toward the

of the latter had caught fire, but
neighbors had taken water from livestock troughs and scooped up melting
snow and ice around the burning
barn with pails and extinguished the
flames in these buildings. Firemen
remained, on the scene 4about two
hours, until danger -was- pa-it.
Four hundred' bales of* hay, twenty
rabbits and barn equipment were destroyed, bringing the fire loss to an
