January 28, 1899: J. M. Harden Wagon House destroyed by fire - Democratic Advocate

J. M. Harden Wagon House destroyed by fire

Democratic Advocate, January 28, 1899

The wagon-house of J. M. Harden, on the Nicodemus road, near Reisterstown, was destroyed by fire at an early hour last Saturday morning.

The loss is $1,250 and the insurance $850. Mr. Harden thinks the building was set on fire by an enemy.

The wagon house contained farming implements and a buggy, all of which were destroyed.

The building was located about 200 feet from Mr. Harden's dwelling house. The fire was discovered shortly before 2 o'clock by Mrs. Harden, just as the roof of the building fell in with a crash.

About two years ago a son of Mr. Harden shot a man in the leg, who, he alleges, was in the act of setting fire to his father's threshing machine.
