FARMHOUSE BURNED
OWNER’S HEAVY LOSS (From Our Own Correspondent.) WAITII, To-day. A seven-roomed house, owned and occupied by Mr. George W. Faulder, farmer, Waihi Plains, was totally destroyed by fire at 2.30 p.m. yesterday. Mrs. Faulder was in Waihi at the time, and Mr. Faulder was working in a nearby field. The house with its contents, was destroyed within a quarter of an hour, and nothing was saved beyond a few articles of bedding. The fire is believed to have originated in the kitchen. The house was insured for £4OO in the Sun Office and the furniture for £l5O in the same office. Mr. Faulder estimates his loss at £6OO above the insurances. The house was regarded as one of the best farmhouses on the Plains.
