The barn of James J. Murr, who lives near Huggins, burned early this morning, and its contents, consisting of a large quantity of corn, hay, and two horses were destroyed. Two other horses were saved. The loss is about $1,000, and there was no insurance. It was before day, and feeding time of the stock. It was dark and a lantern was necessary. This was hung from a beam, but afterwards taken to the corn crib and placed upon the floor. In the process of feeding, the crib was deserted for several minutes, and it was during this absence of the feeders that the fire broke out. It is supposed that the lantern exploded. The barn was soon wrapped in flames, and two horses were removed to a place of safety with great difficulty. The two that were burned, it was impossible to either drive or lead out of the flaming barn, although both were blindfolded.
