R. 1, Gorrie, were destroyed by fire on Wed- nesday night of last week. The farm is located a half mile west of the village on Highway 86.

The barn had been struck by lightning a few weeks ago while Mr. and Mrs. Hastie were on a trip to the west coast. No fire resulted at the time but he believes the wiring may have been affected. The 30 cows had just been milked and turned out to pas- ture a short while before. There was no stack in either the 60 by 40 foot pole barn nor in the 60 by 56 bank barn where 8, 500 bales of hay were stored along with the season's grain and straw. A new power take -off manure spreader was also burn- ed. Attached to the Karn was a milk house which contained a milk cooler. The milk house and equipment were destroyed. Sparks carried by the wind ignited a large driving shed between the barn and the house but firemen from Wing - ham and Blyth were able to ex- tinguish the fire.
