A Fire Of Unknown Origin
Destroys Whitechurch Elevator
On Thursday night about ten o'clo-
ck fire was noticed corning from the
chopping mill at Whitechurch, A
social was just concluded in the Unit-
ed Church and therefore a great many
people were soon at the scene of -the
fire but it had sUc1i a start before it
was noticed that it was beyond con-
trol and burned' to the g -round. The
cause of the fire is a mystery as no
one had beeh about the building for
a few days, the proprietor, Chas.
Martin, having recently undergone a
critical ,operation in London, ,
Mr. Martin has recently installed
some expensive machinery' this year
and.the blinding was only partly co-
vered by insurance. Hay Bros. of
Listwel, owned 7oo bushel of wheat,
250 bushel of barley and 300 bushel
of 'peas, which were stored in the
building. The grain was fully insur-
ed.
Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Mar-
tin, who has only recently purchased
the building and equipped it with ma-
chinery., His loss will be heavy,

at the thne of their bereavement in
