was nearly full of hay the wind was blowing strongly from the south and sparks cinders and large flakes of fire ailed filled the air and endangered the adjacent buildings the presence of mind and good feelings manifested by those present deserve especial mention I 1 bros E W east and john maxwell immediately turned down a stream of water bro 3 J C G rich and others stationed themselves on the roofs
