Cows and Horses Burned

Fire broke out in the barns on the Cambridge farm, near Brentwood, Friday evening, and the barn, cattle houses and other outbuildings were burned. Three cows, four horses and a large flock of chickens were burned, but a large number of cattle were removed from the buildings.
