Bute
Feb. 20th, 1901
James Simmons, living three quartes of a mile south-east of Bute had his house burned last night at 5'oclock. His wife had put on her supper and gone to milk her cow and James was at the far side of his field when the fire was discovered. It caught from the stove pipe where it went through the roof. They saved about all the house, but what they had in the kitchen and dining room was destroyed. They saved a portion of their meat, about 150 pounds of bacon and 5 or 6 gallons of lard and all their canned fruit and several other things of value were burned. The community sympathizes with Mr. Simmons, for he needed what he had. No insurance.
