Last Thursday shortly before clock, the res

extinguished the roof of that part of the dwell
ing was pretty well burned off and the main
building considerably damaged. The household
goods were take out in a more or less damoged
condition. Fortunately. the loss was entirely
covered by insurance. Owing to the distance.

who drove over the road that day, the wonder
