BEVERLY,

of the buildings, practically destroyed 
the house and barn of Amos Burnham 
at North Beverly early Monday morn- 
ing. Mr. Burnham, while suffering 
from mental derangement, went out 
to the barn and set fire to the hay. 
The blaze was first noticed by the 
housekeeper, who hurried to a neigh- 
bor’s, who gave the alarm. The tire 
department were unable to save either 
the house or the barn. The loss is 
estimated at about $2,000 and is par- 
tially covered with insurance.
