FIRE DOES SLIGHT DAMAGE A fire on the property of Arthur Cottam, and Kumen Williams during the severe windstorm Tuesday morning was quickly controlled but for a time, due to the wind, threatened to do some damage. Two boys who had been irrigating the night before built a fire to keep warm and the embers were not entirely en-tirely dead and were quickly fanned into a blaze by the wind. The fire spread rapidly, burning an old straw-stack straw-stack at the corral belonging to Vernon Ver-non Snow, and for a time threatened the home of Ed Miles.
