kept busy this past week with two
large fires. The first occurred at
Leo Gorger farm north of lone on
Thursday, the fire starting back of
the combine and burned nearly 200

highway near the A. C. Crowdl
farm at Morgan. The fire aided by
a brisk wind, burned quickly over
the hill where it began burning in
the stubble field belonging to Ed
Buschke. Fortunately, fire fighters
stopped it as it swept across his
iield before it came to any standing
wheat.
