Twice the week the fire company was called to action, and in both instances the loss was total.

The biggest loss occurred at 1:52 Monday afternoon, when the barn on the farm owned by L.C. Christensen was destroyed. The farm is located four miles east and two and one-half miles south of Owen (Clark Co., Wis.). The fire in the 30 x 40 structure started in the milk house and is believed to have started from a heater on the water pump. There were no livestock in the barn, and only a small amount of hay. The farm home is occupied by the Henry Brill family, who moved onto the place about three weeks ago.
