Eiforts were made to save the grain when the fire was discovered but without avail. All thaf was saved were some stock and some imâ€" plements. 7- ‘a _ A On Monday morning threshing o- 3 peraticns had been conducted at the barn and a large stack of straw was - standing near the barn. and in some unexplainable manner a fire broke out in the stacx and before it was noticed had caught fire in the barn with distasrous results. Following the discovery of the fire neighbors gathered on the Falls farm in an effort to extinguish the blaze but they were unable to do so, the fire having gained headway so rap- idly. The neigthrs concentrating their efforts on protecting the house and other buildings. ‘ ‘ ‘ 7711.- uuu v".-- -â€"_-V ,_, Fears that the fire would despite all efforts spread and destroy the home and other buildings in the vic- inity were held and a call was put in for Bobcaygeon Fire Fighting Bxigade, which responded to the call and was a great assistance in keep- ing the blaze from spreading to the house and driving shed.
