There was a . heavy , Joss, though, notwithstanding the Imperfect information. . The three stacks from hlch the , machine was threshing, were completely destroyed. The ma chine Itself was pulled away from the Durnlng stacks In time to avoid serious damage.. .The grain In tho stack, and a .considerable amount In sacks was a complete loss. A small wagon stand ing, near with a "Jag" of wheat In sacks, was also Included In the loss. The machine was on the Williams ranch at. the time of the fire. The owner of the grain cannot be com municated with, hence It Is Impossible to ascertain the amount of the loss. lllV ptviibivvvn Then Take Your Coupons to ihe Bargain Basemen arid Buy your Schoph Supplies for Nothing MfMM Co BEST STOCK. l - i i .'.'' -.u '.-' i SMALLEST PRICES v :. it ! it it ii ii ii it i ! ii it ii it i it it it ii it -'V'r u ti J V . .
