Suspicion that two costly barn fires in the vicinity of Belwood over the weekâ€"end were of incendiary origin prompted the provincial polâ€" ice in this district to open an inâ€" vestigation. Alex. Quinn said he was last to leave the barn. He had milked the herd and, as is his custom, inspected the quarters before starting for the house. Mr. Quinn was of the opinâ€" ion that the blaze had started in the hay mow. He was certain that sponianeous combustion had not caused the fire. Started in Loft. The fire, it is believed, vriginated in the hay mow, for it was the upper portion of the structure that was ablaze when Quinn first reached the barn. The smoke roiled down into the stable and smothered the liveâ€" stock, it is thougit. â€" With %high wind from the south fanning the blaze, a house owned by Mr. Quinn and occupied by a farm hand, to the north of the barn, was in danger, but the place was saved. When hbe opened the door the} draught swept the flames before. him and he was driven back. Be fore him were the lifeless bodies of all the stock, and he expressed the epinion that the cattle and horses’ had been smothered before the| tongues of fire reached them. | Seen by Brother. James Quinn was first to discover the fire. Late in reaching his home, he was leaving his own barn when he saw the reflection from the strucâ€" ture owned by his brother. He raced across the fields and without stopâ€" ping to cal his brother, who was in his own home, ran to the stuble. In the barn were all implements and the entire crop of grain and buy from the 150â€"acre farm. The total loss was placed at $22,000, and insurance covered but a small porâ€" tion of the amount. Late last month the firebug, driven from the North Wentworth nrea, â€" after â€" several â€" destructive blazes, by the vigilance of farmers and special police, appeared a short distance from the scene of Monday night‘s blaze when he fired a 25â€" ton hay stack on the property of James Quinn, brother of Alex Quinn. Fear that the pyromaniac who terrorized furmers a month ago had â€"cturned _ to â€" South â€" Wentworth, where his flaming torch was last seen, was expressed on Monday night when a fire of suspicious origin razed the $12,000 barn of Alex Quinn of North Hannon and ‘repped 32 head of pureâ€"bred Holâ€" stien cattle, all government tes'ed,‘ and five valuable horses. 30 Head of Pure Bred Holstein Cattle, Horses, Implements, With Big Bank Barn Burned to Ground on Monday Night.
