The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, May 15, 1875 May 15, 1875
Stable Burned.--The stable of James M. BELL was burned last Friday evening,
while Mr. B. was away from the home. The children, one of them a boy of about
fifteen years of age, were burning some loose hay near the stable to destroy
grasshoppers, and the wind carried the fire to the building, which was entirely
consumed. Grimes, the mail carrier, was passing, and succeeded in saving the
wagon and mowing machine which were in the stable, although the wooden parts of
the machine were burned. Mr. B. has gone to work to rebuild the stable, which is
quite a loss to him.
