in the farmhouse where he lived, and
doing some mending for himself,

and live stock, never stopping to get
shoes and even these were destroyed

ems and several farming implements
but all live stock and buildings were
consumed. The neighbOrs are work
ing on one clue for the incendiary.
During the fire bushel after bushel
of wheat poured from the granary
burning like thousands Of live Goals.
