Will Ade Stock Farm House Burned to Ground.

The large house on William Ade’s stock farm, about 4 miles southwest of Brook, was burned to the ground Monday, together with all cf the household goods belonging to the occupant, Dave Harris. Mr. Harris had lighted a gasoline stove a short time before the fire was discovered and had gone to the bam lot to do some Work. Howard Myers, the Brook liveryman, was driving by and saw smoke issuing from th- roof. He gave an alarm and quite soon a large number of men responded and their heroic work saved the corn crib, largo stock barn and a stack of straw. Two men who were pouring water on the roof of the corn crib lost their balance and fell to the ground, receiving quite severe bruises. Only a few of the household effects of Mr. Harris were saved and the house was entirely destroyed. Both the house and contents were insured.
