hours. The gross receipts, with-

donated, totaled $1129.36. The

The large farm home of Frank
Baros and the building adjoin-
ing was totally destroyed by
fire Sunday night about 8:30.
The farm is midway between
Kokernot and Dreyer. Mr. Baros
informed the Gazette that he
carried about $1200 insurance
jut that will not begin to cover
the loss. The Habizal family oc-
cupied the place and the entire
household was in attendance at
the Parish Feast in Shiner. They
lost everything. Origin of fire
undetermined.
Another fire on the John Balu-
sek farm did not prove so disas-
trous in the early hours of Tues-
day morning. The smell of smoke
drifting from a large barn on
the place, aroused Mrs. Albert
Muenich, who lives a fourth of a
mile away and she gave the fire
alarm. About 40 bushels of corn
were consumed. Members of the
local fire department responded
with the chemical engine for the
3 mile run but neighbors had the
fire extinguished in.a short while
and saved the barn, which was
also insured.
