4 TWO FIRES SERIOUS LOSS ON FARM. (“Times-Age” Special.) At 3.50 p.m. yesterday the Fire Brigade received a call to a fire on Mrs A. Murphy’s property at Murphy’s Line, where the cowsheds, motor garage, and another shed containing about one thousand bales of hay, were destroyed. Although the brigade was smartly on the scene, the lack of water seriously hindered fire fighting operations. Another alarm was sounded at 6.40 o’clock this morning, the cause being an outbreak of fire in the wash-house at the residence of Mrs G. Symons, Daniell Street ,but little damage was done.
