One of the Monon trains set fire Friday afternoon across the railroad north of J. H. Montz’s, burning across his meadow and oats stubble. The section men and Mr. Montz fought the fire, but it finally got into the locust grove,south of Tom McDonald’s and literally burned it out.* Most damage to the locust grove will be the spoiling of the boy’s rabbit hunting there this winter. Tom McDonald had some ricks of hay near by but succeeded in saving them from the fire. A fire was also set .out the same afternoon further down the track south of the Dave Culp farm that burned over considerable ground, but doing no particular damage.
