A WOOLSHED BURNED.
[BY TELEGRAPH. association.] Oamaru, Sunday. The Totara Estate woolshed was destroyed by fire on Saturday morning. Three men, supposed to be swaggers, were observed to leave the vicinity shortly before the fire broke out, and it is supposed they were smoking, and thus caused the fire. The building was a large one, and at the time of the tire contained 40 tons of chaff, besides other articles. The insurance amounts to £800 in a Dunedin office, but the name is not at present known.
