BIG GRAIN FIRE.
It Occarred Late Saturday Nlajnt fiear
Adams The Lota Severe.
Late Saturday night Pendleton people
were startled by a big light in the east
ern horizon. It was supposed to be a
wheat fire, and the supposition proved
correct. Up near Adams there waa a
blaze that ought to prove a warning to
farmera in future as to the business wis
dom of wheat insurance.
The fire occurred between 10 and 11
o'clock, and was fanned to fearful fury
by a wind and dust storm that raged
along the Wild Horse. Parties who wit
nessed the fire from a distance of three
miles say that a sheet of flame, seem
ingly a mile wide, advanced rapidly
toward the northeast, its roar and
crackle being plainly heard, and the
odor of burning wheat perceptible to
the nostrils. When a "setting" was
reached the red demon of the fire leaped
higher and higher Btill, and mingled
with huge volumes of black smoke. It
waa a fascinating sight and yet a sad
one, for thousands of needed dollars
went up in that smoke.
Jamea T. Lieuallen, fprmerly a mer
chant at Adams, suffered much by the
fire. Just southeast of the town a quar
ter section of fine wheat belonging to
Mr. Lieuallen had just been harvested
and he lost it all. The stubble was
heavy and burned fiercely. The field
was dotted with straw stacks and piles
of wheat in sacka, and these were re
lentlessly consumed. Out of about 6000
bushela of wheat naugbt was left next
morning save smoking piles throughout
the field.
The veering of the wind, and a long
strip of summer-fallow across the path
of the fire, stopped ita progress. Had
the wind been blowing south, it is likely
the flames would not have stopped until
they reached the Umatilla, after . licking
up miles of rich grain fields and a dozen
threshing outfits.
It ia reported that the fire is supposed
to have occurred from sparks dropped
by Mosgrove's steam threshing outfit in
Bergevin Bros.' field near by. These,
no doubt, smoldered and were fanned
into flames when the wind storm oc
curred. Bergevin Bros, lost by the fire
part of a 160-acre field, and Charles
Marsh also lost some wheat. The chief
loss falls on Mr. Lieuallen, however.
The crop lost waa insured for $1560 in
the Norwich Union, LeeMoorhouse hav
ing written the policy. This does not
near cover the loss. East Oregonian.
A driver of a truck in Salem Saturday
night met with, a serious mishap, which
came very near proving fatal. The
man, whose name could not be learned,
had unhitched his team in the barn of
the Salem Improvement Company, and
was in the 'act of stripping the harness
off one of the horses, when the animal
kicked him, both of its hind feet strik
ing the man's breast just below the
heart. The- physician, who waa called
to dress the injuries, said that the onlv
thing that saved the man's life waa the
fact that be etood so near the horse as
to make it impossible for the animal to
ranch more than push him, while, if he
bad been further away, the probabilities
were that he would have been killed by
the kick.
