Losses by Fire.

During the heavy thunder storm
last Wednesday night, lightning
struck the granary on the farm Of
John Kramar, 8 miles southwest
of town setting fire to the build
ing which in a short time was re-
duced to ashes. A large amount
of household goods had been
stored in the granary owing to the
remodelipg of the residence of
Mr.. Kramar, which also was des-
troyed making the loss so much
greater, although many articles
had been saved. The loss is about
$1,000.
The new large residence on the
farm of Joseph Kocer northwest
of town, was totally destroyed by
fire last Friday afternoon while
Mr.. Kocer was in a distant field
and his wife had been doing some
chores about the house. The fire
started from a kerosine stove
which had been placed on the
porch. Mrs. Kocer being notified
by her small children that there
is a fire in the house FASTENED to-
wards the house but the flames
had gained so much headway that
she could do nothing. Several
neighbors who saw the column of
smoke soaring the skies arrived
on the scene and at once proceed
ed to save househould articles
from the building. When MIR.
Kocer arrived at home he saw
nothing but a pile of burning deb
ris and ashes of his dwelling. The
total loss on the building and con-
tents is estimated at $4,000 with in
surance about $4,000. -..'
