had been struck by lightning. The Blockton, Clearfield and Mount Ayr fire departments responded to the alarm. The blaze
was confined to the loft. The loss was estimated at about $500. The property was insured by the Clyde LESAN Company.
The Wallace TEALE residence property in Kellerton was damaged by fire Sunday morning in an amount estimated at more than
one thousand dollars. The Kellerton fire department responded to the alarm which was sounded when the fire was observed
on the roof about 10 o'clock. The damage was confined to the attic and roof and it is believed that insulation kept the
flames from spreading to the lower parts of the residence. The TEALES were in Minnesota at the time but returned home
