RANDOLPH - Fire was discovered in the double corn crib on what is known as the Fleury farm, six miles northwest. W. G. Fleury who farms the place, was aroused by the barking of his dog and went to the door and saw nothing wrong. A little later his oldest son took a look and the fire was discovered. Neighbors and some from Randolph drove to the place and kept the fire away from other buildings.
The double crib and granary was about 28x36. In it was 600 bushels of corn, 1200 bushels of oats and 150 bales of straw, all destroyed. A seeder and corn grader were also burned.
There is no known cause for this fire as Mr. Fleury knows no matches were about the burned building and he is at a loss to account for the blaze.
By reason of this loss Mr. Fleury is practically without feed for his stock.

RANDOLPH - Last Sunday afternoon Albert Strom, living 5 miles north of Randolph, sustained a fracture of his leg above the ankle, at the farm home of his brother Arthur Strom. The accident occurred while attempting to remove a hog house from a truck on which the house was hauled from Randolph to the farm. Mr. Strom’s accident will put him out of spring farm work.

Peekin’
into the
Past
RANDOLPH - J. A. McEachen bought the flour damaged by smoke and water in the fire at the Ideal Cash Store. There was over four tons and it was bought at a price paid for ordinary ground feed. Mr. McEachen had this flour hauled in trucks to his farm and will use it for hog feed.
It is said that flour, when properly used and not fed too freely, makes an excellent hog ration in combination with other feeds. He now has enough flour to give the matter a thorough trial.
