The fire alarm sounded about 7:30
o'clock Sunday evening, and the fire
was located in the G. A. R. hall,
the fire department rushed to the
scene at once, and in a short lime
had a good stream of water playing
on the fire, quickly extinguishing
the same.
The fire caught in the locker, in
which was kept all the parapherna

were destroyed; but aside from this
there was nota great deal of damage
done. The 01 ¡gin of the fire is a
mystery, as there had been no fire in
the building for over a week, and
the fact that it caught in the locker
is another mystery.
