Peculiar Accident

THINKS HORSES CARRIED FIRE TO BARN ON TAILS

Williston, N. D., July 16.—Fire which destroyed the barn at Johnson's ferry southeast of Williston caused total loss of an automobile and the death of two horses owned by Oliver Pippinger. Early in the evening Pippinger built a smudge to keep the mosquitoes off the horses and it is his belief that the horses stood near the fire, their tails became afire and they carried the fire into the barn.
