A high wind picked up the cig- arette flame which caught in some straw on the floor of the shed on the Charlotte Weaver property, near Miller's corners, while Ellis Weaver and Marvin Meade were working inside. Shed was totally engulfed in flames immediately, but the Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Company was | summoned, and it put out the blaze. Weaver, recently home on fur- lough from the Air Force, said there was nothing in the shed except some straw, and it was worth only the lumber they had hoped to sal- vage out of it. Several other sheds were close by, and were prevented from catch- ing fire, and the Weaver home, also was protected, as well.
