Serious Fire.—A serious fire oc-
curred here on Tuesday at noon, when
the planing mills caught fire and were
completely destroyed. Mr. Cocker -
line, one of the proprietors, left the
building at 12 noon, when everything
was apparently safe. When he re-
turned at 12.45 he discovered the
place full of smoke. He immediately
phoned to the engineer of the fire
company and shortly afterwards the
fire bell rang. It was only a short
time before water was playing on
'the flames, but they had such a start
that nothing could save the building
and all the firemen could hope to do
was to save the stock, which they
managed to a certain extent. The
loss will be about $10,000, with in-
surance of only $2,000. Itis a severe
loss to the town as the mills kept
quite a number of hands employed
and as yet the firm has not decided
whether or not to rebuild.
BRUCEFIELD
Death of Mrs. A. H. Jackson.—
Helen H. Welsh, wife of Mr. A. H.
Jackson passed away very suddenly

Mrs. Jackson had been in failing
health for the past.'' two years or
more, but no immediate danger was
anticipated until Wednesday evening,
when she suffered a sudden heart at-
tack and although three doctors were
in consultation, nothing could be done
to save her life. Mrs. Jackson was a
daughter of the late Henry Welsh, of
New York, where she was born 60
years ago, and where the greater
part of her life was spent. Twelve
years ago she married Mr. A. 11.
Jackson, at Crown Point, Indiana, and
they resided' in Chicago until four
years ago when they came to Can-
ada and since the first of June had
been living in Brucefleld. Mrs. ,Tack -
son is survived by her husband and

McKILLOP
Barn Burned,—About 7.80 on Sun-
day evening last, the large bank barn
on the farm of Mr. Percy Little, on
the 8th coecession, about a mile east
of Winthrop, was discovered to be on
fire, and had gained such headway
before being discovered that nothing
could be done to save the building.
It was a fine barn, 64x70, with splen-
did timbers and had practically been
rebuilt three or four years ago, so
that the loss on the building alone
will be a very heavy one. In addition
to the barn the loss on the contents
was also very heavy, including fifty
tons of hay, two pigs, a large num-
ber of hens, a wagon, two root pul-
pers, several sets of harness, about a
thousand feet of lumber and many
other implements and articles. How
the fire originated is not known, but
it is supposed to have been spontane-
ous combustion in the hay. Fortu-
nately the few head of live stock in
the barn were rescued and the grain
crop was still out. The monetary loss
however, will be heavy. The flames
could be seen for many miles, and
the evening being fine, they attracted
a tremendous crowd of spectators,
but the heat from the fire was so in-
tense that no attempt could be made
to save anything. It is Mr. Littie's
intention to rebuild at once. If he
can purchase a barn he will have it
removed to the farm, or he may erect
a steel barn.

brother of the groom. The bride-

The Late Fred Busch.—Owing to
being from home last week on the
day your correspondent is accustom-
ed to send in his budget no items
appeared and we had intended in last
week's issue making reference to
the death of one of our pioneer resi-
dents as the late Mr. Frederick Busch
had been a resident of our village
for a long term of years and was well
and favorably known, not only in the
village but in the country as well.
As a framer and carpenter he raised
and built many buildings and was an
expert worker. As one friend said in
speaking of hint, "You could not hitch
him up wrong at any work," as he
was always capable of taking his
part in almost any kind and had a
good knowledge of doing things. He
was born in Buffalo and came to our
village some thirty years ago and
had been married some 121 (years.
His wife, a Miss McTavish, prede-
ceased him some nine years, leaving
one son, Russell, who is now grown
up to manhood and has a good posi-
tion at present in London. Mr. Busch
had been in declining health for the
past year or so, from an incurable
disease, but previous to contracting
same was a strong, robust man. Af-
ter being ill for a good many months
at hia home here, he was taken to
the Victoria Hospital, where he died
a couple of weeks or so ago, and his
remains were brought here for inter-
ment in the Hensel] Union Cemetery,
a large number meeting the morning
train on which his remains came, and
shortly after the train was in and
his friends were permitted to view
the remains at the station, the fun-
eral procession proceeded to the Hen-
sall Union Cemetery.

Lindsay, of London, accompanied by
Mrs. G. Murray, Mrs. Lindsay's

were pleased to meet them again, as

former residents of our village.—Mr.
George Case and Mrs. Case and Mr.
A. L. Case and wife were in Goderich
a few days ago attending a re -union
of relatives and friends, and Mr. Case

vice in helping to avert what looked
like an unpreventable accident. It
appears an auto of the party in com-
ing to the brow of the immense hill
at the lake shore was unable to get
the car stopped before it began to go
over the sharp brow of the hill, near
the roadway. In fact it went down
some rods, but fortunately striking
some soft mud it assisted the driver
to get the brakes to grip, but just
at that minute the car was lurching
over on its side at a most dangerous
angle, when Mr. Case at considerable
risk, rushed down to where the car
was just balancing and throwing his
weight just where it was needed, he
prevented the car turning turtle on
the hill side, but all present thought
it a most narrow escape for the
crowded car—Mr. Roland Cudmore,
our moat active brick layer and con-
tractor, has been quite ill for several
weeks, but we are pleased to learn is
now recovering nicely and will no
doubt be soon busily engaged again
in his pressing work. Mr. Cudmore

dwellings from time to time in our
village as well as building many in

on Sunday last, but are pleased to

ed. Mrs. Carlile has not been in very

Nellie Carmichael is spending a
couple of weeks' holidays with rela-
tives in Stratford and elsewhere.—
