The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State February 7-1890 Flames at Bushville. James Smith's Barns, with their Contents, Consumed. The Work of an Incendiary, Buildings on Opposite Sides of the Road Being Fired at the Same Time--Live Stock Burned. Shortly after midnight the two barns on James SMITH's place at Bushville were discovered to be on fire and were soon reduced to ashes with all their contents, consisting of a considerable quality of hay and produce, two horses, three cows, three calves, two buggies, a considerable quantity of farm implements and also a hay stack near by. How the fire started is a mystery, but there is every reason to think that it was the work of an incendiary, as the barns were situated on either side of the road, and both were discovered to be on fire at the same time. There is an insurance of $1,050 with Edwin COX on the barns and their contents, but this will not cover the loss. ** Milkman McCulley's Team Runs Away. A man employed by John H. McCULLEY to drive one of his milk wagons stopped in front of the Cottage on State street this morning and leaving his horses unhitched went into the place. Strange to say, the animals took it into their head to run away and started off up the street at a rapid pace. In front of William H. EDRIGE's residence, at the corner of State street and Washington avenue, they collided with a tree and left the wagon there in a very dilapidated condition. The horses brought up very suddenly against the porch of a house next door and were captured. The railing and a post on the porch were knocked down. Very little of the milk was spilled, and the harness was not much broken. *** Notice.
