The residence on the farm formerly
| owned by H. o. Torkelson, southeast
of town, was burned to the ground last
Thursday night. The place is now
owned by A. NJ. Henderson. 1t has
been farmed this year by Ed Highland.
Mr. Highland has been boarding with
his folks. who live on the adjoining
| farm. He is at a loss to know how
the fire started, as he had not had a
fire in the stove for several weeks
When discovered, the building was a
| mass of flames and nothing could be
! saved. The building was insured in
the farmers company, and 1t is worth
noting, that Mr.. Henderson received a
| check for his insurance before he had
| time to go down and look at the ruins.
Another loss which this company
| settled in quick time was the barn fire
of NJ. II. Henryson, which occurred on
his farm northwest of town Friday
night. The origin of this blaze, too, Is
mystery, as no one was near the
barn when it took fire. Mr.. Henryson
received a check covering his loss at
10 o'clock the next morning.

AS they dress alike, it is hard matter
to distinguish one from another.
