day night shortly before eleven
o’clock.. •...
Oil this occasion it was th£
large feed-filled barn owned by
r Alvin , Sherwood just south of
Dungannon. Despite the nearness
of the barn to the Village and
to the Highway, the outbreak was
well advanced when-discovered.
< The Fire Brigade could. do no-
/, thing to stem the flames and re
served the truck’s water supply
for protection of other buildings,
,• if need be, ’,
There were some 1500 bales of
hay and 1000 bushels of grain
in the barn. The livestock loss
included a purebred cow, a sow
arid litter of 12 pigs. An imple
ment shed was also burned.
Tile Yard Building Burned
/About the supper hour on Tues
day of last week, buildings at
the brick and tile yard of W. R.
Smith in Greenock Township in
the Kingarf district, were des
troyed by fire believed to have
started from a spark from the
baking kiln.
The fire spread so rapidly that
the flames prevented Mr, Smith
from saving a truck, tractor and
two cars parked in the yard.
Later that night the Lucknow
. Fire Company was called to a
^barn4ire4vit^n"a^ouple~of4S iles
