Shortly before noon dri Friday .
the Ripley fire whistle sounded.
The fire was at the farm of Jack
Curran-on the ninth concession
of Ashfield township where at the
time it was reported that both the
house and barn wereturning. It
is understood that the Lucknow
Fire Department , facing a" tough
struggle with the brisk southwind
blowing at the time, called for
Ripley to help. The fire com-
pletely destroyed the renovated
home of the. Curran family vl.ho
were away at the time. The
firemen saved the barn. The
breezy south wind was fine for
drying the harvest crops but very
bad for fire fighting.
