Small Blaze.

Shortly after eleven o'clock Monday
forenoon fire was discovered in the
ceiling of the second story Of Deible
Bros wagon shop, corner of Grant and
Fourth streets. The alarm was given
and our fire lads responded quickly and
in a few minutes after the alarm a
stream of water was turned on to the
fire and it was extinguished before
much damage was done. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but it is supposed
to have started from a spark from the
smoke stack. Deible Bros. do not carry
any insurance on their wagon plant.

Butter and Cheese Factory.

The butter and cheese factory is a
sure thing. A piece of ground has been
secured on Fourth street extension on
which to build the plant. The contract
for the foundation has been let to Thos.
E. Evans. The buildings will only be one
