Monday afternoon at o'clock the
local fire company was summoned to
the farm of Walter Smith, west of
Pennington, where a straw rick was
on fire and which threatened the
Outbuildings. The farm is owned by
parties near Laurel.
According to information gained
from an investigation, they had been
threshing wheat on the farm and
had just finished, the machine hav-
ing pulled out of the yard, when the
straw stack was discovered to be on
fire. 1t is supposed that it caught
fire from the threshing engine. The
firemen stood by to protect the
buildings, letting the straw burn.
Chief Cain and firemen Hayes left
ahead of the equipment in the chiefs
car and seemed to have gotten lost
anyway they arrived at the fire af-
ter the equipment was on the Job.
No damage resulted except the loss
of the straw.
