THE WHITFIELD FIRE. --Lest week
brief reference was made to the burn-
ing of Lewis Whitfield's- barn, on 9th
line of Morris township. The pro-
prietor and his helper, Vernon Olegg
were out early at the barn doing the
chores; the former being upstairs put-
ting down feed. In eozne manner, the
lantern upset and set fire to the re-
fuse and on into the hay mow.. Mr.
Whitfield called Olegg who was in the
stables and soon by vigorous efforts
the fire was subdued and thought to
be out. While albreakfast the tele-
phone rang and a neighbor informed
them that the been was on fire. A
rush was tirade to the spot and by the
kindly help of neighbors the flames
were put out, water running through
to the stables and thanks were return-
ed for the ready; help and good work
done. About 10.80 Sunday morning
for -the third time the smouldering
fire showed itself and on opening the
barn door the flames shot forth and
before many minutes the whole place
was ablaze and spread so torpidly that
little could be saved, barring the live
stock minus the poultry, feed, imple-
ments, cotters, harness all went. The
barn was a good one 0000 feet, with
cement stabling' and well fitted out.
With difficulty the home was saved
from the devouring element. Mr.
Whitfield had $1800 insurance in the
Elma Mutual Fire Insurance Oo. and
promptly Monday 2 Directors were on
hand and appraised the loss. - Mon-
day morning' Mr. Whitfield shipped
his cattle to Toronto where he dispos-
ed of thein as he had no place to
