Fire destroys house trailer

       A house trailer valued at more than $15,000 was destroyed in a fire early this morning in White River Township.  David Weltich, Greenwood route two, reportedly woke up and fled from the house trailer before it was engulfed by flames.  His car, parked near the trailer, was also damaged in the fire.  Members of the White River Township Fire Department reported the fire occurred at 12:55 a.m., apparently as the result of ashes dumped in a trash container earlier in the evening.  The trailer was located in Wheel Estates on County Line Road near State Road 135.  No injuries were reported.  (Reprinted with permission from the Daily Journal)
