A still alarm of fire was given
Monday evening as a result of the
discovery that the packing on the
front portion of the boiler Of the
steam heating plant Of the Redwood
Falls Improvement Co. building
was on fire. The blaze was quickly
extinguished without a general
alarm. It is claimed that the cause
OF the fire was due to the exhaust
ing of the water in the boiler.

saloon in the frame building owned
by Joseph Lichtwarck. on Second

visits included Christmas eve and two
or three days thereafter and so it was
