STAFFA MAN HAS NARROW ESCAPE AS MILL BURNS Two Earns and. a 'Chopping Mill Are Burned in Hibbert Township Over Week 'End.. e ie ground in Th chopping mill of Mr. F. O'B'r n at Staffs was hunted to the groun i on Saturday et noon when the gasol a engine 'burst into .flames a :Minutes inutes before being closed dawn for the noon .hour. Mr. O'Br'to n's son, 'Walter, received burns when his ,clothing ignited from the sudden blaze. He' was lucky to be able to escape safely as he happened to be on the side of the engine nearest 'the door, IS he bad 'been on the other side of t'he engine he thinks it would have been impossible to get out in time. Beth hand's were severely burned. The• fire resulted from a clogged return pipe causing the gasoline to overblow on to the hot engine and burst into flames. The engine had. an .tundergroend supply tank from 'which gasoline was pumped up by the engine, It was fittefl with a pipe to return excess gas back to the under- ground tank and it was this pipe which .apparently clogged .just before closing time at noon, The fire spread so 'quickly that nothing .was saved. Me:.O'Brien intends to rebuild the mill immediately. A small stable be- hind the mill was also burned. A horse in the stable was taken out safely. The mill was tbuilt thirteen years ago, and was just across the street from the United Church. On Monday afternoon the barn of Mr. 'Roland IKleinfeldt, lot 118, con, 2, Hibbert, was totally destroyed by fire, believed to have started from spontaneous combustion. Mr. Klein- feldt ''was away from 'hone at the time, 'being in Mitchell to get repairs for his binder. His son was working in tht implement shed about 2 o'clock when: he heard the crackling of flame$ .and discovered the barn was 00 file. About the same time mean- bers'of the family of Mr. Lorne Peth- ick, across the road, noticed dense clouds of smoke pouring from the Kleinfelelt lbern and ran to give the alarm. The season's hay crop was in the structure and was totally de- stroyed. An adjoining straw shed was also burned. There was no stock in the' barn. Mr. Kleinfeid't had some in- surance on the barn but none on the contents. The frame dwelling was near the' barn hat escaped as the wind was blowing away from it. On Tuesday morning about six o'clock the 'barn of Peter 1Krauskopf, lot 1115, con, '4,, two miles and a half south of Dublin, was completely burned ,after being 'hit by lightning. The barn contained the hay which had just •recently 'been stored in it. Also lost were two cows, a pig and a few .chickens. During the fire some of the horses tried to go into the barn to 'get out of the downpour of rain, but were driven :away. Two imple- ment sheds between the Shouse and barn escaped the 'flames. The wind was 'blowing away from the house. One corner of the cement foundation of the barn was splintered 'by the bolt of lightning and pieces of the 'broken cement were ,hurled some feet away. The loss will be .partly covered by in- surance. Me. Kraus'kop.f raised the barn ,and .put it on a cement ifounda• tion about ten years ago.
