The recent fire at Gwvn Carey's farm house. which is occupied by Paul Geisser and family, was caused by the accidental upsetting xof lamp. The Homes spread rapidly and burned up several articles of furniture which wa s a complete loss to MT Geissler, there being no insurance on it. If it had not been for the quick and heroic work of three of the farm hands who hap pened to be near it would have been impossible to save the house.
