V AlAll ® Quite a little excitement was caused on Christmas night when the piggery caught fire from some unknown cause. The building which housed the pigs, was an old log one and it made quite a spectacular blaze, which gave the Dome folk the impression that it was one of the Dome Extension dwellings that was on fire. The fire had secured a good start before it was noticed and when the first arrivals ;:OQ on the or the first time in years a wes given a worthy display against western senior champions have b year after year, but on Satur western juniors provided a real macy of the east. enge to the supreâ€" I_ Athintin Playing against the Mo Association rubgy squad for Wnior Rugby T’eam of Championship,. the Patric®, teq by a narrow margin Reginag, Saskatchewan, WaS#q of 4 to 1 for the first of 6 to 4 after holding tY¥¥;.arter the Montreal team three quarters.

Thirteen wellâ€"fed pigs were lost in the log part of the building and ten were saved alive from an addition to the cabin which was also burned flat to the ground. The blaze was such that the South Poreupine FKire Dept., thinking also that it was A dwelling house fire, landed up at the Dome Extension in a hurry with the motor hose truck. Quite a controverâ€" sy has arisen regarding who saved the pigs, one claiming this and another that, but some are thinking that a few of the spectators were well on the way to seeing pink and green pigs with horns and long tail complete. Anyhow, if the owners get as many pigs as the various claimants say that they each saved, then they will have more than when the fire started. _ Mr. C. V.
