NJ F Martins castle, Que mile
aud half south nf Lnvalard,
erected a. cost of $4O,OCO,
burned to the ground early this
mornina, the cause Of the fire be-
Ing n nl ssery.
About ten years ago Mr.. M-r-
tin conceived the idea of erecting
II home for his family, that would
resemble his ancestral home ia
every particular, aud the hand.
some castle in which he took so
, much jnstifiable pride was the re-
suit. Ii has been his custom for
several years past to bring his
family IRON Omaha early in the
springtime to his 'scastle in the
hills" AID there they would
spend the summer months. For
some time past the building and
grounds have been in charge of
VIM Befus, who has had sole care
of everything about the place.
In telephone dispatch to TIE
TIMES this morning Mr. Befus
stated he started for the kitchen
about $50 this morning, intend
ing to start fire in the kite hen
range. His attention was soon
attracted by bright light that
shone down from the second floor
of the building through a register
in the floor. He made an inn
mediate investigation and soon
found lively blaze then in pro-
gress in the roof, adjacent to one
of the chimneys. AS the premises
were unprotected by adequate fire
Distinguishing facilities his efforts
to combat the flames were un-
availing and within very short
time after their discovery the
flames had communicated to the
entire upper portion of the roof
and gradually the handsome bull
ding was licked up by the flames
that had such free Roadway.
By $50 the walls fell in and
now all that remains of the hand
soonest structure in this section of
the state is but q pile of smolder-
ing ruins. When the fire COM
menced there WAS household
goods ect. i'm the castle to the
value of something over $1,000,
and almost everything was con-
sumed by the fire. 1t is said MIR.
Martin carried an insurance
policy for about $4,000 on the
building and contents. Mr.. Martin
had hired another man to take
charge of the premises and he
was expected to assume charge
Saturday.
