She had " j - m Linyille Waters Barn Destroyed by Incendiaries-Five Cattle and a Mule Burned Up, Together With Corn and Roughness. Thursday night of last week, near Gap Creek, Ashe county, Linville Waters' barn was de stroyed by fire. Five cattle and one mule were burned up in the barn. About 175 bush els of corn, two stacks of oats, a large quantity of hay and other roughness, and most . of the farming tools, plows, etc., were destroyed. The damage is estimated ; at $1,000. It was the work of incendia ries. Mr. Waters, was away from home, being in the upper part of Wilkes, at the time, gathering up a drove of cattle. About a week or two before this, inoendiaries had burned another barn for him tm his mountain farm which contain ed a nice lot of hay. Just a week or two before that fire had been placed to A. D. Cowles' old store building at Gap Creek with the evident intention of burning it, but it was discovered and put out. About the same time, L. L. Church's warehouse at Soda ! Hill was destroyed by fire, be ing the work of incendiaries. Mrs. A. D. Cowles, of Gap Creek, has recieved letters of warning against turning off some tenants on a stock farm near Waters' place. About two years ago, near the scene of the Davis fires, John Holder's widow and Jack Holder were evicted from Mr. Calvin J. Cowles' land, and al though the houses were distant trora each other; tnev were burned in less than 24 hours ofter being vacated.
