HAY PRESS BURNS
NEAR SLEEPY EYE;
GASOLINE ENGINES EXHAUST
SETS FIRE TO STRAW
CAUSING LOSS.

Fire detroyed a hay press and baler
and 225 bales of straw at the John
Krzmarzick farm near Sleepy Eye on
Monday morning Of last week. It
seems that the fire started in a straw
pile, being ignited from the exhaust
Of the gasoline engine used in the baling
of straw.
Ed. Giese Did Baling.
Ed. Giese was employed in baling
straw for Mr.. Krzmarzik and in some.
way the exhaust from the gasoline
engine set fire to the straw pile nearby.
The fire was not noticed right away
and gained considerable headway. Be-
fore it could be put out, the hay press
and 225 bales of straw were destroyed.
Barely Saves Automobiles.
It was only by very speedy action
that the fire was gotten under control
and the car Of Mr.. Giese saved from
the flames.
The loss was only partly covered by
insurance.
