    together with the barn & smaller buildings of Lewis Lightner who lives directly opposite.
    Mr. Doyle was working in a back field & only had time to get to the house & save one dresser, some silverware & his pocket book containing $80. Everything else was swept away, including 11 head of hogs, a good young horse & nearly 600 bushels of wheat.
