A full description of the item, or transcription of item text, if possible.
Four stacks of hay and five of grain were destroyed by fire on the farm at Newton Gray, Abernyte tenanted by Mr Donald Shaw, on Friday evening. On being discovered the alarm was raised but by the time a supply of hose arrived from Rossie Priory the fire was in full play. Efforts were directed to keep it from spreading to the steading and these were happily successful. The damage is covered by insurance.
