About half-past eleven thlt ftreneon a lire
occurred at the McDowell well, Rynd Farm
which resulted in tbe terrible and probably

were salting aear tbe oil tank, which wae
nearly full of oil at tbe time, watching tbe
operation, wbeq, it is supposed, a spark
from tbe smoke stack of tbe eogine set fire
to the oil, causing an explosion and burn
