What eame rear being ad;sas-
trons firs transpired 00 the W. H.
McBee farm near Willaase'.te
Grange hall Thursday. Ab iuitwo
weeks ago McBee fired astrawstack.
It was damp weather at the lime
and 1 1. was expe( tja mat ire siacK
conld be safety barr.ed. The fire
however, smouldered, and in a stiff
breez o! Thursday was fanned into
ac-ive flames. A fence took fire and
a half mile 'of it was burned. Mr
McBee lives on another farm, but
the Vhilb3s discovered the trouble
and by use of the rural phone, soon
got a sufficient force of neighbors
together to arrest the fire. When
floally put out the flames had ad
vanced to within a few yards of the
McBee baro. Foitunately the grain
fieids were hardly dry enougb, or
the story of the burn would have
been far mere serious.!

Greffoz was in part explained
Thursday by the receipt of two let

and gave directions with reference

They were mailed at Albany while
Mr. Greffoz was enroute to the Cas
cades. He was ill when he left
home and is supposed to have still
been unwell when the letters were
written.
