A serious fire occurred on the
farm of DR.. Daniels east of
Corona last Sunday about one
o'clock in the afternoon. Mr..
Chivington, who leases the farm
had been at the barn a few
min utes before the fire was dis.
covered but failed to notice any
thing wrong and when his wife
looked out the building was in a
blaze. Two horses in the barn
perished, and 600 bushels of
wheat, 800 bushels of oats, 800
bushels of speltz were burned
as we'll as harnesses and other
articles. 1t is supposed that
some threshers who had been
using the barn may have
dropped matches which were
stepped on and caused the fire
Fortunately DR.. Daniels had his
grain stored in a granary
separate from the barn, and this
was not destroyed. The doctor
had just returned from a visit
to Northfeld aud Hastings and
received word of his loss on
getting off the cars at the depot.
