Fire destroyed the Paul Seeliger home, a mile north of the Jess Prin- die place in Westland district, last Sunday night about 9:30 P. M.

Mr. and Mrs. Seeliger and family were in Walla Walla at the time of the fire so nothing was saved except several boxes of fruit which neighbors and friends saved after being notified by the alarm which rang about 9:30. There was no insurance. Everything was a total loss. Busi ness houses and friends of the See- ligers are responding with clothing, food and money to help them get started again.
