Init were stored about 15,000 bushels of wheat, 300 bushels of shelled corn and other grain, The flouring mill was recently re- modeled and fitted out with the latest and most improved machinery in 15887, at a cost of about 315,000; in it were stored 4.000 bushels of wheat, 6.000 bushels of oats, 150 barrels of flour, chop, feed, bran, ete., in large quanti ties, There was #19000 insurance on the mill and $8,000 on the warehouse and contents, which will fall short consider. ably of the loss. The lumber, and buildings, in which there wus stored also a large amount of saw mill machinery uninsured, were partly secured by insurance. Mr. Crider estimates his loss, above insurance, at about 83.000, The bridge across Spring creek caught fire several times, but by the use of buckets the people on the other side of the creek checked it before much dam. age was done. A great many farmers had wheat in storage with Gerbrick, Hale & Co., which will amount to about 4,000 bush. els. Very little of it was insured and there will be a number of heavy losses by outside parties, There was also about 1,000 bushels of custom work in the mill, all of which will be a loss to farmers in this section. It is estimated that at least $53,000 worth of property was destroyed by fire.
