About 3 O'Clock last Saturday the
cry of fire was raised in our village,
when it was discovered that Glover &
Sons shed was on fire. A crowd
quickly gathered and hose was laid
from the mill to the burning build
ing. 1t had gained such Roadway in
side the shed before any sign of fire
was seen on the outside that the roof
fell in soon after it was discovered.
1t is Thought that some grain which
had recently been put into the west
end of the shed had heated, burning
hole through the floor, and the
strong wind which was blowing at the
time drove the flame under the floor
until it reached the hay, when it
broke out into fierce fire. The wind
carried sparks to Mrs. Jane Lavery's,
VIM. Blacks and Delos Rabadeau's
houses, and these caught fire, but
were quickly extinguished. The shed
was burned to the ground, and only
one or two wagons were saved. Be-
sides double and single carriage, ON
nibus and sleds and sleighs. the firm
lost large amount of hay and grain.
The loss will exceed $4,000 and much
sympathy is felt for the losers, as the
property was not insured.
