Last Saturday morning, John Busker's residence burned down about 11 o'clock. Nearly everything was lost. The family was at sitting by the fire when it caught. About the time the neighbors got through fighting fire, Fritz Weid looked across the street towards the residence of Par Gordon and saw the top of the house on fire. Folks hurried over there and extinguished the fire after about $100 worth of damage had been done.
