• Firemen respond to two calls
Hartley firemen responded to a call at the tree dump on Sept. 29. The fire is believed to have started by someone discarding something hot or by embers from a previous fire. Tree debris, mulch and bean stubble in an adjacent field were destroyed, but the fire was stopped before it reached the railroad tracks.
Later that day, firemen were called to put out a combine fire northwest of Hartley. Something inside the machine was burning but no serious damage was reported.
