The fire had gained considerable
headway when discovered and the

responded, and soon two streams
of water were playing on hte burn

proximity of another residence on
side, and the filling station of
the Standard Oil Co., on the other,
a high wind blowing at the
time, uneasiness was felt less the
flames spread, and a destructive con- <
fiagration follow. But the splendid j bon,” said Mr. Ennis,

Practically the entire crop of hay,
fodder, velvet beans and peas that
was made by the women the past
year was destroyed and the current
oat crop was burned up by the
flames. It was estimated that near
ly a hundred head of hogs perished
in the burned wreckage.
A pony owned by the young son
of Capt. Smith, perished in the fire,
this being the only animal other
