    a narrow escape from being burned to Death
    Nearly all the cattle were lost except a few a neighbour managed to get out of the fire.
    The fire was supposed to start about midnight and it was burning at six oclock in the in the morning. It was never known the cause of the fire but it was supposed to be a lighted candle on the table set fire to the tablecloth.
    It caused a lot of damage around the place.
