Sunday evening about o'clock fire
was discovered in a stack of straw on
the George Cryderman farm north
east of Armada. Scores of men fought
fire all night and part of next day

near by from burning. The fact that
the wind blew the flames from the
barns no doubt saved them. How the
hire started does not appear to be
known. The bean thresher belonging
to Robert Harris of Memphis was in
the barn and the engine near but it
had not been fired up since the big
blizzard three weeks ago
