BARN BURNED.
A Blaze That Destroys Cver
Thirty Tons of Hay.
Evidently of Incendiary Origin.
A large barn and adjoining sheds on
Cliff street, belonging to Cyrus Water-
bury, were burned to the ground last
night.
The fire which 18 believed to be of
incediary origin, was discovered short-
ly after 10 o’clock, and an alarm given.
Prompt work resulted in the saving of
the live stock, and some of the vehicles.
Aside from the buildings the main
loss was thirty tons of hay, and a
quantity of grain, all of which is cover-
ed by insurance in a Stamford agency.
