What has been thought to be the remains‘of a map have been found in-tbe ruins of a barn that - burned near Osborn Monday night Coroner Frank Chambliss has been investigating. A p a rt of a. shot gun was found nearby and it is reported that a man with a gun was. seen in the vicinity of the barn sonic hours previous to the fire. No identification has been yet discovered. It is the belief of the officials that the man was a hunter and had gone into the bam to te s t and probably set fire to it while smok­ ing. A large barn on government mili­ tary land near Wright field, Osborn, was burned early Monday evening, The bam was located a t the intersec­ tion of the Big Four, the I. C, E. trac­ tion and the Dayton pike. The barn, a corn crib and other outbuildings burned. The residence, a brick with a slate roof was saved. The fire was easily seen by many from this place. The contents of tlie barn, especially live stock, were saved when soldiers offered assistance. The Wright field fire company and the Osborn Company did what was possible to save the bam but the high wind made this a hope­ less task. The loss is placed a t $10,000 with no insurance to the tenant, Edward Hols- man. Three thousand people were a t­ tracted to the fire.
