lost a buggy wagon, sleigh and
harness. The hay teams were in
the field and of course were saved.
The hen house was emptied of
the hens before the building caught
fire and unless some of the animals
flew back into the fire all were
saved. A great deal of the stock
fortunately was in the pasture
when the flames broke out.
Although the buildings have
burned to the ground, couple of
high piles of heavily packed hay
are still burning and probably will
shoulder a day or two. The furn-
iture which was saved was taken
to field nearby where it was
carted off by neighbors this morn

blaze spread as though the build
ings had been saturated with kero-
sene. Miss Warden rushed down
stairs and informed Mrs. Roy, who,
keeping very calm in the great ex-
citement prepared to remove what
articles she could handle. She did
.rpt believe it wise to wake her
children at the start because she
REALIZED the youngsters, awake
would make it much harder for
her. 1T was not until neighbors
arrived that he aroused the chill
dren from their slumbers and
turned them over to friends.
The first persons to arrive on
the scene were Mr. and Mrs. f. S.
Bailey. They took Joseph, the two
months old baby while the family
of d. A. Blain cared for the two
older boys, Allan, aged 2 1-2 years
and Blake, five years old. A good
sized crowd collected within a
brief space of time and it was
possible to save practically every
thing in the house. By the time
help arrived, however, the barn
was a seething funace and it was
too late to rescue the stock, which
consisted of one horse, one bull,
three calves eight shoats and
brood sow.
About fifty tons of old hay and
between so and rs tons of new
hav were in the large barn which
is $50 by 40, huge structure. 1t
is the belief of Mr.. Roy that fire
started from heating of the hay.
The Roy children and the hired
man claim to have noticed pc
culiar odor in the barn for the
past few days and Mrs. Roy was
planning to write to her husband
about it last night.
Besides the large barn, there
was a smaller barn, good sized
storehouse, where 10000 feet of
lumber and quantity of ice vas
stored "a hen house and the house
were laid flat by the flames. Farm
machinery, including a tractor,
reaper, harvester, sled, manure
spreader, blower and buggy,
wagon, express wagon. two sleighs
and other pieces of apparatus was
destroyed, entailing a loss of
about $500. Archie Pope also
