Out in a field on John Whitaker's farm, things wefe exceedingly in teresting for a time Wednesday. There was a fight and a very hot fight at that with fire, and for a time it was a question of whether or not the sturdy farmers fighting it, or the fire would get the upper hand. The fife started while Peter Rickard's threshing outfit was en route through the Whitaker place to John Winkle's. Fire was discovered by the men after the en gine had passed through. As soon however, as they saw it, the men realized the danger of the situation to adjoining fields of grain, to fen ces of neighbors and piles of thresh ed grain in the field in which the flames were raging. It was in Whitaker's vetch stubble that the fire broke out. As soon as it was discovered the alarm was given by the engine whistle. The threshing crew hur ried back to fight the flames, and farmers of the neighborhood also appeared. A stiff wind was blow ing, and it fanned the heat into roaring flames. Plows were brought and several furrows were hastily run around the threshed grain. The threshing engine and water wagon were also brought to the scene and the ground around was thoroughly wetted with the result that the grain escaped. The water wagons moved to and from the source of water supply with the horses in a dead run. The efforts of the farmers and threshing crew were desperate. The contest lasted for four hours. Of the stubble about 40 acres was burned off, and a considerable section of fence was destroyed be fore the improvised fire department obtained the mastery- The field ! was one on w hich a very fine crop of vetch was grow this season, and which was recently the subject of mention m the Times. The fire is supposed to have had its origin in a spark from the engine. A fea ture of the loss is that the flames factory showing of the accounts of I have probably destroyed all the clerk, sheriff and recorder- for the past two years. In the case of the clerk, $13.48 was fouud to be due, but to offset it, ex-Clerk Watters naa on nana in mscasn box is 14 that he could not account for, . or 50 cents more than the-" expert claimed as due the county.
