BROADFOOT BARN BURNED IN TUCKERSMiTH Fire destroyed the large modern barn on the farm of Allister Broad - foot, Tuckersnrith Twp. on Thurs- day afternoon last. All of the sea- son's crop, most of the heplements, some pigs and hens were lost. Seaforth firemen responded to the alarm shortly after 5:30, but the flames had gained such a start that it was impossible to save the build- ings. Rescued were fifty-three head of cattle, most of which are now being stabled at the barn of a neighbor, Jack McLean, and a few at other neighbors. The cause of the fire is not known. The family had returned from a trip to Stratford during the afternoon and when Allister went out to start the chores he saw smoke corning from the small barn housing the pig pen. The whole barn was soon a mass of flames. Implements stored in the implement shed attach- ed to the barn were lost, only a binder and manure spreader being saved. The wind carried sparks away from the house, which was not en- dangered. The Broadfoot barn had recently been remodelled and modernized and was considered to be one of the best in the district. The loss is partly covered by insurance. About 7 o'clock the same evening the firemen were called to McGon- igle's grocery where fire was discov- ered in the ceiling, apparently from a short circuit in the wiring. The fire was quickly put out, with only slight damage. MEN'S CLUB FORMED AT ST.
