Someone saw smoke coming out of the roof and gave the alarm. Many rushed to the scene. The first who got there saw the fire was in the bottom of the hay in the loft, the smoke oozing out of the hay. A big rat ran out of the hay and leaped to the ground where he was killed. His hair had been scorched and it is likely that it, or one of its kind, by the aid of a match, started the fire. There was no one in the barn when the fire started except Mr. Koon, the chain gang guard, who was asleep in the little room on the floor underneath the loft. Mr. Chappell, County Road Supervisor, was sitting on a bench in front of O. Klettner’s store with a crowd of men when Austin Long called attention to the smoke. They immediately went to the barn and found the convicts chained in the little house behind the barn. J. H. Koon, who was in the barn, was awakened and he turned out the mules and had the convict Elliott Gallman assist him in putting out the fire. When the rat ran out of the hay loft Mr. Chappell stomped on it. It is believed the rat caused the fire. All other people in and around the barn were accounted for.
