fa id yy o® 51 Head of Holsteins| Destroyed in Fire BOWMANVILLE.--51 head of Hol- stein cattle, two horses and most of the farm machinery were lost in a fire which destroyed a large barn on the farm of Eber Millson, located on the 7th concession of Darlington town- ship two miles west of the Hampton- Enniskillen road, late Tuesday after- noon. The loss in the fire, the origin of which is unknown, s is estimated at $20,000. At this amount the barn was valued at $4,000, "The remainder represented his implements, feed and herd of cows, half of which were milking. There was little insurance on the building and its contents. Mr, Millson and his hired man Mr, Clarence Huggins had completed the | evening chores and were in the house, 200 feet from the barn, having their supper when the fire was noticed by Arthur Yellowlees, a neighbour. Mr. Yellowlees rushed to the Millson farm and draised the alarm. By the time the men reached the barn the flames had gained such head- way that they were unable to enter and try to turn out the stock. They were able to safe a tractor but the * remainder of the farm equipment was consumed. The fire is a serious loss to Mr. Millson, 'who has been operating the farm for the past six years. He shipped the milk from his herd to a Toronto dairy. His seed for the sea- son was stored in the house and was not destroyed. However, with the loss of his implements, he will be handieapped in his spring seeding operations, ; It is believed that fire had its orgin in the hay mow in the upper portion of the "L" shaped frame barn which was approximately 80 feet by 24 feet. However, as this section of the build- ing was not wired for electrical equip- ment its cause is a mystery, . The Bowmanville Tire department was summoned; but due to the rapid spread of the flames, was unable to save the building, PY Dies on Way fo Birthday Party Tragedy marred a day of celebra- tion in a Whitby home last Saturday, Mr. Herbert G. Earl, of Myrtle, was en route to the home of a friend, Gor- don Mearst, of Whitby, to attend a dinner in honour of his 70th birthday, when he passed away at the wheel of his car, A passing motorist, recognizing Mr, Iarl's car, and seeing it pull over to the side, just south of Brooklin, stop- ped to investigate. By the time he reached the Earl car, Earl had passed away. Mr. Earl would have been 70 that day. Mr, Earl, who was for years a farm- er in the Lindsay area, had lived at Myrtle for seven years, since his re- tirement. Hq was predeceased by his wife, the late Martha B. Grier, and is survived by a daughter Connie, of To- ronto, and two sons, Grier, of Sud- bury, and Grant, of Peterborough.
