These monster pintes ; 50 feet x 14 incbes square must .be raised some 30 feet and then placed with only a frame work for the workâ€". men to move about on, or the exâ€" treme tops of the posts and jumped on to the tennons. As one of these was being moved into place on the top girths .an end was beneath ~a lower girth, the other, the greater half, projected at an angle in the air; the beam was swung about to‘ free the secured end and no rope attachâ€" ed."Tt happened quicker than expectâ€" ed and the projecting end crashed down and a 20 foot piece of this heavy timber broke off and was . zig zaging through the framework while the men with their hands over their heads ran in all directions lest it should strike them. This was the only mishap and fortunately did not entail much damage as the beam can | still be used. e The barn is 59x50 feet and 38 feet high, with a straw shed attached 40 x 48 feet, and withim 70 feet of the new red pressed brick house with modern conveniences which is in the Stages of completion.
