Elliott sustained a heavy los on Sunday when .the residency ori his farm was completely destroyer' by fire, 'which was first noticed by Fred Beard about three .o'clock. Hn summoned neighbors and they_ hur- ried to time scene but by the time thea arrived the house was all in flamer and it was impossible to save any- thing. Between seven and eight him= clr•ed bushels of grain, white clover seed,, oats and buckwheat was stored in the house besides some furniture. The origin of the fire is a mystery It evidently broke out in the front at' the south side. of the house.' Some thinkthat e perhaps the house wa. P p struck l' u bylightning g g nn Saturday night and .that a spark smouldered until Sun- day afternoon, but this seems impro- bable as the house was a frame one: built of square timbers and would in all probability p obab lit, ignite quickly, This is the second time that fire has vis- ited that farm, which is situated a mile and a half south of the village, Three years ago last August, just after the crop was in, Mr. Elliott war busy fanning some grain when he heard an explosion and the barn burst into flames Whether it was the'lan- tern or' gas combustion he did no' know but he was only able to save his implements at that time Later in the year he moved to' the village to 111'r George Copelands house and since (then has gone back' and forth to his work. Ile was not aware: of the fire until half past. fotir and. the house was• all burned when he arrived' on the, scene. A large straw stack also caught fire and burned: The•bnilding and grain .were. partly -covered by in- surance but even so it is a heavy, loss as there IS 'no other 'building', on .the farm. - - The. committee is busilpreparing, y.

Elliott sustained a heavy los on Sunday when .the residency ori his farm was completely destroyer' by fire, 'which was first noticed by Fred Beard about three .o'clock. Hn summoned neighbors and they_ hur- ried to time scene but by the time thea arrived the house was all in flamer and it was impossible to save any- thing. Between seven and eight him= clr•ed bushels of grain, white clover seed,, oats and buckwheat was stored in the house besides some furniture. The origin of the fire is a mystery It evidently broke out in the front at' the south side. of the house.' Some thinkthat e perhaps the house wa. P p struck l' u bylightning g g nn Saturday night and .that a spark smouldered until Sun- day afternoon, but this seems impro- bable as the house was a frame one: built of square timbers and would in all probability p obab lit, ignite quickly, This is the second time that fire has vis- ited that farm, which is situated a mile and a half south of the village, Three years ago last August, just after the crop was in, Mr. Elliott war busy fanning some grain when he heard an explosion and the barn burst into flames Whether it was the'lan- tern or' gas combustion he did no' know but he was only able to save his implements at that time Later in the year he moved to' the village to 111'r George Copelands house and since (then has gone back' and forth to his work. Ile was not aware: of the fire until half past. fotir and. the house was• all burned when he arrived' on the, scene. A large straw stack also caught fire and burned: The•bnilding and grain .were. partly -covered by in- surance but even so it is a heavy, loss as there IS 'no other 'building', on .the farm. - - The. committee is busilpreparing, y.
