Fire In Wheat In Saline Township

Saline, Aug. 26. - Fire from a steam engine destroyed a large stock of wheat for Charles Wolf in the southwest part of Saline township yesterday. The machine had just commenced threshing another stack when the stack near the engine was discovered on fire and too far advanced to be extinguished. Insured in the German Mutual.

Wheat is turning out well, but the quality is poor.

Sunday, Aug. 24, was "Missionary Day" at the Evangelical church at Benton. Collection about $130.
