by fire in field on the farm of Mr.. I. Jeffer
son Guam, near Taylorsville, on Monday
morning between 2 and O'Clock. The
threshing machine was the property of Mr..

separator broke down on Saturday and men
quit work until Monday with two wagon loads
rye standing close to the machine. On Monday
when the men arrived for work they found the
separator and rye stack in ashes and the
two wagon loads of rye moved a considerable
distance from the destroyed separator, about
100 yards, from where they were left by the
men on Saturday. The origin of the
fire and moving ofthe loads of rye is mystery,
as no one in the immediate vicinity heard
anything of it.
