STILL INTACT
The' Observer has been requested to
orrect the statement made in this
paper last evening and appearing In
the Star this morning, of the complete
destruction of the Roy Oliver thresh
ing machine., The Informant, over the
telephone was inlHunderstood, and The
ibserver takes pleasure in rectifying
Its error. 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.
