Prank Suspected As Cause Of Wellsville Barn Fire
A barn at the Charles Wilcox farm near Wellsville with 900 bales of hay burned completely overnight. Sheds and a nearby tractor were damaged or moved to safety as firefighters fought the blaze to prevent spreading to tall grass by the city lake. Earlier, an unoccupied Charles Craghead house three miles northeast also caught fire with hay bales placed near the west wall, believed set to ignite. Firemen speculated Halloween pranks may have sparked the incidents.

Water Approved Signs Coming Down in Missouri
Missouri will remove over 2,500 "Water Supply Approved" signs from about 550 towns in November as federal rules render the signs obsolete. Officials say water quality remains high and the change avoids costly replacements as programs shift to the Division of Environmental Quality.
