Fire broke ont about 5 p.m. Thursday:, while threshing operations were in progress, and it is thought that a spark caught the strnw and everything being so dry, the 'whole barn just Went like so much matchwood. The fire was noticed first from the home where Mrs. Tebbutt and her mother, Mrs. W. Big.gin were prepar- ing supper. 'the house being some distance fvem the barn, they were unable to shont a warning betorts the fire had made quite a headway. A broken telephone line prevented send- ing out a zunghherhood miller help. No One Injured Irvin Tebbutt, brother r.rf the own- er, drove the tractor to the barn door thinking that he might be able to draw the separator out hut the heat was so intense that both had to be left and as a result both were lost. Fortunately no one was hurt although several received a slight scorching but nothing serious. The barn was large and part of the season's crops was lost in the blaze. The building was completely destroy- ed. No stock was burned as ft was possible to save the animals in the barn. Loss is estimated at over 88,000, atlhough this is portly covered with insurance, ' Due to the fire, Mr. Tebbutt has decided to dispose of his live stock grain, etc., at an auction sale at his farm next Thursday afternoon, Oct. 24. A list is published on Page Seven of this issue.

Fire Threatens Auburn Village Shop Destroyed (By our Auburn correspondent) Fire of undetermined origin com- pletely destroyed the combined bar- ber shop and residence of Wesley l3radnock early Monday morning. A neighbour, Min. Elmer Keller, noticed the flames at 12.45 a.m. and turned in an alarm, but the cement block structure was as a raging furnace by theh. In a matter of minutes a large crowd had gatheeed, bat were helpless to save thebuilding. It was feared that Knox Presby- terian Church and the residence of Mrs. Maude Fremlin situated on either side of the flaming structure would fall prey- to the flames, but speedy and efficient work by mem- hers of A,uburn and • Blyth fire brigades presented serious damages to the environs. Mrs. Premlin's home was badly scorched, and all the wind - owe on the east side of the church auditorium were .shattered either by heat or pressure of the water. There was damage to the interior by smoke also. Flying sparks proved a menace to the residences of J. W. Medd, William iticIlwain and the Foresters Hall, as well as other homes west of that point. At one time flying sparks caused a small fire to start on the roof of a barn belonging to ltirs. Alf. Asquith. Mr. and Mrs. Bradnoek were ab- sent from their residence at the time of the conflagration, and absolutely none of the contents of shop or house were saved. The absence of wind and a plentiful supply of water which had been reinforced by nifty and Saturday's rain proved a real blessing to the fire-fighters as well as the villagers. It was the first time the fire engine had been used, and it paid for itself mightly. It was three years ago Thanksgiving Day that the last fire occurred, a building belonging to the Huron County shede was burned. The structure razed Monday was formerly the property of Ed. Heltvig, and was built seine years ago.
