Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, September 19, 1918 BARN BURNS LAST SATURDAY [front page] JACK PHILPOTT LOSES 200 TONS ALFALFA IN LARGE CATTLE BARN. >From Monday’s Daily. Last Saturday near noon, the hay and cattle barn of Jack PHILPOTT near Weeping Water, caught fire it is supposed from spontaneous combustion and burned. The barn contained 200 tons of alfalfa hay and this with some other things were consumed. The fire was discovered by Mr. Philpott who came in from the field and had just put a team in the barn. He was just starting for the house when he discovered the fire, and rushing back was able to get the team and a few things out of the barn. Two self feeders were burned, and the fire will prohibit Mr. Philpott from feeding as extensively as had been his custom. There was an insurance of some fifteen hundred dollars on the structure, which would not even start to build the barn again, let alone the compensation for the contents or the barn itself.
