The Royal elevator at Burlington burned Friday night starting near eleven o'clock and raged into the morning. Firefighters saved the stock yards and other buildings as the origin remained uncertain with suspicions of arson. The 150000 bushel capacity elevator contained flax and other grain, and the scene interrupted a nearby dance as workers moved grain to safety.
