Creamery Building Burned With
$4,000 Worth of Butter-Per-
sonal and Local Notes

i
ground Sunday evening between nine
and ten O'Clock. 1t is thought the
ire originated in a new ash-pit
which had Just been completed. Mr..
Van Cour, the butter-maker, discov-
cred the fire and tried to put it out.
but it gained such Roadway before
the alarm was given that nothing
could be done to stop it. Mr.. Van
Cour saved some of his furniture,
but little else was saved. The loss
is bad one to the association, both
in the destruction of the building
and its valuable contents, and the
resulting confusion in business. 1t
was fitted up with the latest and
best equipped machinery, refriger-
ating plant, etc, and they had on
hand about so tons of butter,
valued at $4,000, which fed the
flames with avidity. The fire was
kept from spreading to the barns
and piggery. The insurance is
small, compared with the loss, be-
ing only $1O,95O. The manager, w.
1. Powers, is absent in the west on
a vacation trip. He has been mott
fed, at Winnipeg and will prob
ably return at once.
