lowed. catching in a way that
would make Ripley's “Believe It

way, county g'ame and fire war
den, who reported the incident to
The Times, all fire and signs of
fire that could be found were
carefully taken care of on May
5, when the large orchard was
severely damaged, and a “fire
line” made around the orchard.
A tall hickory tree, standing
near the fire line, which had been
dead for several years, seemingly
escaped the first fire. However,
Mr. Galloway was called back to
the Whitmire farm on la.st Sun
day, and upon checking cause of
the new fire, traced it to a spark
that had ignited the dry wood of
the tree near its base, finally
burning its way into the tree with
sufficient damage to cause the
tree to fall. In falling the tree
smashed another dead snag down
thus forming a bridge oyer the
fire line that had been made. De
spite several rains in that section
since May 5, the slow burning fire
IIT had managed to keep up enough
^*',life to gradually eat its way to
j 1 the top of the dead hickory, onto
Itory connecting snag, across the
fire line, ancl the Whitmire
chard of fine young apple trees
was again on fire.
Qoick work of fire wardens and
neighbors saved the orchard.
