HERON LAKE SCHOOL HOUSE
BURNED.
: About nine O'Clock Tuesday FORE
noon fire was discovered in the fine
school building at Heron..Lake, and
the structure consumed 80 that it is
total wreck.
The fire is.supposed to have oigi-
mated from the hot air furnace and
when the building was first entered
after discovery of fire, almost the
entire floor was burning. AS soon
as the door was opened a draft was
created and the fire quickly entered
the walls. The department had
some delay in getting stream on to
it, but it is not thought the building
could have been saved had there
been no delay. The walls fell in
about ten thirty and the portions
remaining are useless except the
material in them that can be re-
moved without breakage. A few
doors were torn off, in doing this
further draft was created and hasten
ed the consumption of the building.
The building was fine .one, OF
brick, completed in 1895 at a cost,
from thirty to forty thousand dol
lars and at this time cannot be re-
placed for the larger amount named.
