Grain Stacks Burned In Oats Fire Near Town
Seven stacks of oats owned by G. O. Savage burned Tuesday morning about a mile and a half south of town. The blaze started from sparks from Ross Pickering's threshing engine. Firefighters pulled the engine away to save it and water was used to control the flames. Phillip Pickering fainted from heat and smoke, while Ross Pickering suffered a bad burn to his hand and wrist. Savage carried about 27 or 28 acres with an estimated yield of 25 bushels per acre, but insurance will cover the loss.
