The farrti is owned by Alex. Percy and is known as the ‘Rousom place”. The fact that Mr. Hill had been away for a couple of days deep ened the mystery of the ouit- ' break. Cleve had been, at the farm of Howard Glass since Fri day morning, assisting with the chores in their absence. Mr. Hill’s home is not wired arid he burns ‘ wood. In addition the location of the outbreak was not hear the stove. The fire would appear, to. have started in a downstairs partition and to have broken through on the exterior .of the home. The blaze was discovered by Tom Hodgins about ten o’clock Satur day evening when returning from Kinlough. Neighbors were sum- ■ moned and a bucket brigade went into action while a call was sent to Lucknow Fire Company, The blaze had reached the rcof through the partitions when they arrived, but the bucket brigade - had been doing a. gipod job of slowing the flames, and when the pumper succeeded in drafting , water from a roadside creek, it . looked as if the home rinight _be___:__ saved from , being ^mpletely gutted. The pumper, however, started sucking sediment and,, the truck had to be moved to another Water hole 9and hose lines moved. headway and the building was doomed. There was ho spectac ular blaze, but a persistent in stack didn’t take fire and willing , workers worked feverishly in bagging up several hundred Bus- shels of grain, which were stored in a kitchen adjoining the main building. The weairy half-dozen Luck now Firemen were served lunch at Alex Percv’s„and_-it-was-near—— ing) four a.m. Sunday when they got back to town. THAT Mrs. D. N.
