Saturday night fire was discov-
cred by Peter Kneeskern at the
creamery. The fire originated
around the chimney and had gotten
a good start before it was noticed.
In less than half an hour dozens of
people were gathered to do what
they could. They worked hard to
save the building but the roof be-
ing made of tin they had very little
chance and the fire worked with
such rapidity that the creamery was
in ruins in a short time. Great
praise was given Mr.. Foss and
many others. The people are thank
full that the house and other build
ings were saved and all escaped un-
injured. We hope soon to have a
new building, ready for business
again.
