Investigation showed that a considerable amount of floor and partition had been burned, and the fire was working its way in places but was soon extinguished. Tramps are talked of. Just a week later fire was discovered in the kitchen and wood shed of the house owned by Wm. Bailey. The fire had gained considerable headway, and the house was soon consumed. The furniture on the first floor only was saved. The property was insured for the amount of $1500. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as the family has always been very careful."

"BAILEY LAKE - During the rain, hail and thunderstorm that passed over this place last week considerable damage was done to the oats and corn crop, and several buildings. Mr. E.J. Bailey's barn and sheds were struck by lightning, and with contents burned to the ground. Loss, $1,000.00, insurance $800, in Oakland County Insurance Co. It will be remembered that this is the same Mr. Bailey that buried six of his children in one month two years ago. For the past four years Bailey Lake settlement has been visited by remarkable and destructive fires that can not be accounted for. One John Black, had his house burned, Ranson Johnson, Wm. Bailey, P.H. Smith had their houses burned, and Whinfield S. Bailey had his house partly destroyed by fire; and now comes Mr. E.J. Bailey's barn, with nearly all his wheat crop burned to ashes. During the late storm Joe Case's barn was blown to pieces by the wind, and considerable damage done to old Joe Ross' crops and fences.".
