FIRE DESTROYS GRAIN SETTINGS.
Sparks from Threshing Engines Wreak
Havoc to Several Farmers.

Last Thursday night about s o'clock
Lancaster people returning from Min
eral Point saw five grain stacks burn
ing near MontfOrt Junction. An in
vestigatiOn disclosed that the stacks
belonged to Clarence Chrisman and
Scion David of that neighbOrhood, and
represented forty acres of oats. The
blaze caught from an engine spark,
the outfit having pulled in that evening
to commence threshing the next day.
The grain and straw was total loss.
Henry Hartline, living three miles
north of Lancaster, lost four oat stacks
and one timothy stack last Saturday
night by blaze that started in the
same manner The Charles Funk out
fit had completed threshing one setting
consisting of 525 bushels from five
stacks. They were preparing at
o'clock to commence work on the sec
Ond setting when the tinder-like straw
caught from a spark. In a moment all
four stacks were ablaze. Seeing that
nothing could be done to save the
burning grain the workers turned their
attention to the straw pile and by
keeping wet blankets on it they were
able to keep the blaze away from this
and the house just across the road.
Mr.. Hartline lost about 400 bushels
OF oats and the full stack of timothy,
the value of which he does not exactly
know. The burned grain was partial
