FERN TAKES HEAVY TOLL
On Wednesday of last week about
inidn(ight, fire destroyed two fine
bank 'barns near Kirkton. The barn
of Mrs. David Rogers was the first to
take fire and; it was completely des-
troyed. Shortly after, the barn on
the farm of Miss M. Copeland and
rented by Mr. Nelson Fletcher, just
across from the Rogers' barn, took
fire supposedly from the cinders and
it too was soon reduced to a heap of
ruins. In both barns the season's
crop had been stored and both lost
a quantity of implements and a num-
ber of pigs and bens. The cause of
the fire is unlcnowri.
During a severe electrical storm
which passed over this section on
Thursday night last, the fine bank
barn of Mr. Lawrence Fu1t0n, on the
boundry "line near a! arq'trhar, was
totally destroyed together with the
season's crop. Mr. Fulton had just
finished threshing, on Tuesday and
the entire crop was ing the barn. A
wagon had been loaded- with grain
Mr. Fulton having planned to mar-
ket it on Friday. Thirteen pigs and
two calves were also destroyed. A
drive shed with most of the farni.
implements were saved. The fire
occurred just after inidnight.
On Thursday night the large barns
belonging to W:"J. Murray; of Ellice,
a, few miles east of Mitchell, in which
were all his season's crop's, a fine
team of horses, four calves, a num-
ber of pigs and all the implements
were destroyed bF fire. The blaze
started in the mow and aS none Of
the grain from more than 100 ares
had been thrashed, spontaneous come
bastion is thought to have been the
cause. The loss is partly covered by
insurance
