The large barn of Held Bros, adjoining Hinton together with forty nine
head of live stock was destroyed by fire, Friday evening, entailing a
loss of about $20,000. The fire was discovered about 10:30 o'clock. The
barn contained 120 tons of hay, 27 head of work horses, seven of them
being imported mares, 22 milk cows mostly thoroughbred, a lot of grain
and farm machinery. The origin of the fire is unknown but is thought to
have started by combustion in the alfalfa and clover hay. Mr. Albert
Held had been to meet his mother at the Great Northern train and saw no
indication of fire when he passed the barn going to the house about
twenty minutes before the blaze was discovered. The mother, Mrs.
Caroline Held, discovered the fire and gave the alarm but before the
sons could reach the building it was a roaring mass of flames. One mare
and colt that escaped of their own accord were the only thing saved. The
prompt arrival of farmers and almost the entire male population of
Hinton prevented the spread of the fire and only one other building a
small corn crib was consumed. The loss was covered by about $5000.00
insurance. While the monetary loss was heavy the firm deeply regret the
loss and suffering of the livestock and deplored their inability to save
them.
