FIRE DAMAGES KELLY BARN Fire, sparked by lightning, caus­ ed an estimated $30,000 damage at the walking horse barn on Camp- bellsville Pike, Columbia, Tenn., owned by State Sen. J. T. Kelley. MORE TOP WALKING HORSE TRAINERS RELY ON THE “VOICE” FOR INFORMATION, NEWS AND VIEWS OF THEIR BUSINESS THAN ON ANY OTHER NATIONAL MAGAZINE. Kelley said that Frank McMeen of Columbia, who rents the barn, had two of McMeen’s best horses at Belfast in Bedford County at the time of the fire. The barn, on the Kelley farm was partly-destroyed, the main part be­ ing saved from the flames by Columbia firemen. Two horses valued at a total of $3,500 died in the blaze. One of them, a Walking yearling, owned by Finis Williams, Coumbia, was valued at $1,000, and the other, a Walking pony, valued at $2,500, owned by Mrs. O. M. Babcock, also of Columbia. Six other Tennessee Walking horses were rescued from the front section of the barn, which was not destroyed. 43
