Farmhouse Burnt

John Gibson's residence on his
homestead north of Roy was
burned to the ground with every
thing in it Monday about noon
The house has been vacant since
he came to town with his family
last fall and most ofhis furniture
was in it. The origin Of the
fire is a mystery as there was no
lightning at the time and no one
known to have been near the
place. 1t was one of the best
farm houses on the mesa and was
insured for only a fraction Of its
value, The loss is a serious one
and Mr.. Gibson and family are
entitled to practical sympathy Of
the community.

have. He admits he is not a
