SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE.
ALDINGA. December 26.—On Sunday a large fire broke out at Mr. Sydney Smith's homestead, which Mr. Smith thinks must have started in the stable, where he had some phosphate pollard stored. The family were having dinner and one of the girls came outside after dinner and saw the stable on fire. She called Mr. Smith, and he went to the fire, but by the time he got there the stable was burnt to the ground. A horse which was in the stable was destroyed, with all the harness, trap, and spring dray. The blacksmith shop was burnt down. Nothing was left but burnt iron. A terrific north wind was blowing at the time. The fire leaped over a bare chain road into a stubble paddock, and then spread to Mr. A. C. Culley's sheep runs, destroying about 500 acres of good feed. The fire broke out again on Monday, and destroyed another 233 acres of Mr. Culley's sheep runs. Willing hands turned out from Aldinga, Myponga, and Sellick's Hill, and fought bravely with the fire. The fighters were very thankful to the Misses Smith, as they kept them supplied with refreshments. The estimated damage is about £90.4
