Matau. (From Our Own Correspondent.) On Tuesday, the 14th inst., a ten- roomed two-storey house, owned by Mr T.
G. Dewar, was totally destroyed by fire, along with all outbuildings and their
contents. Practically nothing was saved. Some few articles removed a few chains
away caught fire, and were destroyed. The fire was caused by sparks from log
fires, a gale of wind driving- the fire in all directions. Apparently the fire
had started a mile or two away.
Logs are still smouldering in all directions and there is still great
danger if the wind should spring up again.
Several other settlers had hard work to save their houses, especially as
most of the wells are dry, and in some instances water had to be carried a long
distance.
