A Big Blaze

On Frlday morning l;ist . at about lo'clock, Andrew Campbell, of Pittsfield. living on the South Ypsilanti road. about four miles trom Ann Arttor, had the misfortune to loso, by fire, one of liis large barns and about $3,000 worth of personal property. At 12o'elock tlie barn was alriglit and ever.vthintï safe. but aa liour later it was a.U on fire, from what cause no one can teil, and probably no one will ever laiow. It is surmised, of je, fehat trampa must have gone int ii the barn to sleep and Bet lire to the hay with their pipes. In the barn and consumed with it was 1.r:S7 busliels of wheai .: daye before, 200 els ol corn, 00 tons of hay. T ■s, four of wliich were young and ahiable animáis, five hogs, one lumber wagon, and a qnantity of machinery. The barn was worth aboni si, 000 and was Issured i-r $560. Tiie persomal property was insured for -. 000, matlng a loss of upwards rl.500 for Mr. Campbell. The íire carne wlthin 22 feet oi the house, but by horoic efforts :' Mr. Campbell and liis family, assisted by one of 'his neighbors, it as eaved. A staek of straw standing on the oppoaite si(!' of the street, was on Dre twice but was put out before it got onder headway. This staek was near a large basement barn wliich was Insured for $1,400. The chances were twenty to one, so the neighbors say, that a'.l the property would have had to go, bul quiek w'ork eaved iioiisc and other barn. Tilo loss is quite a serlous one for Mr. Campbell, but he consoles himself with the fact that it might have been worse. w Tlio Atlantla club, oï Ypsilantl, wout np to Dexter last Prlday to play base b.-ill witlh ïlic Nonpareil club, ol Dexber, mul likc t lic ancieni island tor wiiioh thcy were namd, thej Resides, ü was Friday!
