THRESHER
SMUT CAUSES COMBUSTION
IN ELDER SEPARATOR.
Explosion Occurred Followed by Fire
Which Destroyed All the Wood
work of a $1200 Thresher No In
surance Carried, Although They
Could Have Insured for $800 Two
Weeks Ago.
Last Friday afternoon between 3
and 4 o'clock the separator belong
ing to S. B. Elder and W. L. Elder,
father and son, of Despaln gulch, was
destroyed by fire originating In a
spontaneous combustion of smut and
dust caused by friction.
Less than an hour before the fire
the Elders finished threshing at Clay
liranstotter's place and moving over
to Lee Beam's place made a now set
ting and went to work. Within an
hour the explosion, followed by fire,
followed. It is said that there is no
perceptible amount of smut in the
Beam wheat, but there was consider
able In the Branstetter wheat.
W. L. Elder, who was at work close
by the separator, in fact was but 05
yards from it, beard what "sounded
to him like the report of a shotgun
about 100 yards away, and In tho di
rection of the machine." He turned
and saw a shaft of flame fly upward
from the middle of the soparator. Tho
entire inside works of the soparator
were ablaze in a moment and all that
could be done was to save the prop
erty about it.
The separator was almost entirely
consumed, and as much of It as was
not was rendered useless. Surround
ing property was saved by actlvo
hustling. Tli,e engine was not injured
in the least.
The separator had been in use five
years, but excellent care had been
taken of It, and this summer boforo
putting it into operation it was over
hauled and made practically as good
as now. It was not insured for n
dollar, and the Elders hnvo the grim
regret of knowing that they might
Just ns well bo $700 in pocket now
as "out tho entire vnluo of the ma
chine, which was worth anywhere
from $1000 to $1200. Two weeks ago
they could have Insured th.o machine
for $S00 by paying n premium of
$100.
Tlio Elders will put in a now out
fit, probably, with which to resumu
work for the remainder of tho sea
son, as they have contracts to enrry
them through.
