House On Walter Harrington Farm Destroyed By Fire.

The residence of Walter Harrington on his farm about a half mile north of the Rosebud church, was destroyed by fire about 10 o’clock this Tuesday morning. The house was burned to the ground, but Mr. Harrington and his boys were able to save part of the household effects. The fire originated from sparks from a pile of burning leaves, which fell on the roof. The timber was dry and the house was soon a mass of flames. ■- ——-~~~ The house was a good one and the loss will be quite a heavy one.
