BIG Cordeersn -On Thursday the
storehouse opposite the station ground
used by D. Urquhart and J. and C.
McDonel tilted over towards the nest.
The supports were not strong enough
to told up the 8000 bushels of oats
which the building contained, and this
being stored in the upper portion of
the building apparently made it top
heavy. When the building touched,
thegrounderndAhe slope caused it to
burst and the'greinto run- out. imm-
ediate steps were • taken to save the
contents, . nearly all the grain be-
ing •gathered • up in good condition.
The building which was wrecked be-
longs to Mr. Urquhart who intends
moving it up to his mill where it will
be much more convenient.
