Tuesday morning Mr.. B. |. Jeffrey of
Albion Prairie, sent his team to Edger-
ton with large load of good straw which
he had sold to DR.. Shepard. But that
straw will never see the inside of DR..
Shepard's barn. 1t all went to feed the
flames of little fire that was struggling
to liye hard by the scales where the
straw was weighed. 1t all happened
this way. The straw had been weighed
upon Mr.. Greenwood's scales and tipped
the beam at 5000 strong. The boy who
drove the team was not versed in short
curving upon city street. The wagon
upset and dumped the straw upon pile
of burning rubbish. Famed by little
wind the flames quickly spread until
they covered the whole pile. A man
rang in the fire alarm. The fire COM
pany responded quickly and soon had
two streams of water playing on the
blaze Too late to save the straw but
just in time to prevent the fire from do
ing further damage. When Farmer
Jeffrey markets another load of straw in
Edgerton he will occupy the steering
station of the vehicle and guide it safely
past any little fires that happen to be
blazing by the road side.
