Fire. at Nestleton $50,000 FIRE AT NESTLETON (Toronto Star) 6,000 FOWL, PIGS, HAY, GRAIN . BURN WHEN BARN DESTROYED Nestleton, August 11.--A $60,000 fire on the farm of Laverne Suggitt, three miles north-east of here, Satur- _day night, levelled a huge L-shaped barn and destroyed its contents. 'The barn, recently renovated, con- tained. some 6,000* chickens, 1,600 bushels: of grain, 4,000 bales of hay " and a.small' quantity of pigs and calves. The barn was converted into a _four-storey structure last year with one section being converted into a chicken house and a heating system installed. As Suggitt and his wife began to feed chickens in one section of the big barn, fire broke out in another. Suggitt said there appeared to be a flash and immediately the whole ~ structure seemed to blaze up. He thought was a spontaneous combus- tion fire. Other district farthers attracted by flames which shot -high in the air, rushed to the scene and succeeded in getting a few pigs and calves out o the building before blistering heat and dense smoke drove them away. When the flames hit the chicken house's gas heating system tank, flames shot 100 feet into the air. Reflection of the flames could be seen in Port Perry, 16 miles distant, | where the volunteer fire brigade rush- ed out men to help contain the blaze. They were able to save the spacious farm house, aided by a wind blowing away from it. A few chickens, although scorched, escaped through shattered windows and are still laying eggs among the debris today. Neighbours are taking up a collection to aid the Suggitts, with summer residents of the resort aréa nearby lending their support, The fire was the second which has visited the farm as four generations of Suggitts operated it. The last time was in 1898swhen fire destroyed most of the buildings on the property. The present buildings were crected after this blaze, - : ee el A Patient: "Doctor; are you sure this is pneumonia ?- Sometimes doctors prescribe for pneumonia 'and the 'patient dies of something else."
