the loss by fire at Henry Melzers
place.
Fire broke out last Friday morning
between 2 and 2:30 a. m. at the place
of Henry Meier, and burned the barn
which was built last summer with
contents as follows: horses, 16 milk
COWS and calves, all the hay, all
corn fodder, all harnesses and in fact
everything that was in the barn; the
grainery with about 1000 bu. of wheat,
about 1000 bu. of oats and a large lot
of tools; also The machine shed with
all the farm implements. The only
things that were saved from the flames
out of the implementshed were two
top buggies. Mr.. Meier was not at
home, being at the home of Sam.
Gieseke, shredding corn. When Mrs.
Meier discovered the fire about 2:3O
in the morning, she telephoned to her
husband and also asked the Telephone
Central to notify the neighbors, which
was promptly done. Mr.. j. w.
Schroeder was the first man that
arrived, and at once got busy, and by
his hard work saved the dwelling
house. Mr.. Meier, Sam. Gieseke and
his man and Alex Reinhart drove to
Mr.. Melzers place as soon as they
received word, while driving through
CORTLAND they rang the fire bell, and
it's Fire Co. soon we're at the Engine
house, but as the fire was about a
mile and a half from the village they
were unable to do anything. A large
number went to the FIRE but could not
do much as the fire had too much start.
They saved the dwelling house,
chicken barn and hog stable. The
loss is about $4,000 with only $500
insurance. AS we understand the
neighbors and the many friends will
extend glad hand and help Mr.. and
Mrs. Meier to get the buildings re-
build again.
