Dyson Village Almost Wipeti Ont.
Greenwood Journal,D

Fire early Monday morning (Aug-
ust 2d) practically wiped out the
business section Of the village Of
Dyson. Two stores. the postoffice and
the railway station were completely
DESTROYED about o'clock. The ori-
gin Of the fire is unknown.
From what could be learned here
this morning. the stores burned by
the fire were those Of the Dyson Gro
cery Co. and the commissary Of the
j. l.. Mcmillan Brick Co. People
were living In the commissary, but
no one was injured in the fire.
The loss is estimated at about
$4,000. There was little insurance
on the buildings. Only two stores are
left standing. No one seems to be
able to account for the FIRE. 1t cannot
be laid to sparks from the train, as
the last train passes there early in
the night.
