BARN BURNED AT
ST, COLUMBAN TUESDAY
Flames roared through a bank barn
on No. 8 highway, about two -and -a
half miles south of here at about
430 p.m., Tuesday, while the owner
was away, burning it to the ground
and destroying 100 hens and 16 pigs,
as well as tents and equipment, Dam-
age was estimated at about $5,000.
The fire, which broke out while
owner Direk Wolterbeek and his
family were away was spotted by the
driver of a passing truck.
The trucker sped to the barn and
released three pigs.
However the other pigs and the
chickens went unnoticed by the
crowd until the pigs began to squeal,
but by then the flames had spread
too far to do anything about them,
Seaforth firemen responed but
could only stand by to protect the
house. Danger to the house which
was 150 feet west of the barn, was
lessened due to slight wind.
No implements were in the barn,
but a stock of grain and hay was
a complete loss, One sow broke free
and raced across a field with smoke
pouring from its nostrils,
Gerald Holland, insurance agent
for Mr. Wolterbeek, said produce
and stock were insured is well as
the barn, but that Wolterbeek would
sustain a loss in rebuilding the barn.
Origin of the fire has not been
determined.
Smoke from the fire spread over
the highway and was responsible for
an accident.
Provincial Constable H. Snell of
Seaforth slowed his police cruiser
when his visibility was hampered and
the car was struck in the rear by a
car driven by H. E. Smith, of Sea -
forth. Although uninjured both were
severely shaken.
Police said both cars suffered ex-
tensive damage.
