Year Ago.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal


WESTFIELD, Ind, Jan. B-The West
field public school, two-story frame build
ing of seven or eight rooms. burned to the
ground between IL and Il o'clock last night,
with none of the contents saved. When
the fire was discovered at 11:45 the building
was a mass of flames. and was so nearly
consumed that no effort could be made to
save it. The residents of the town confined
their efforts to saving the houses in close
proximity to the school and in this they
were successful. The school building was
an old structure that was condemned by
the State school examiner about year
ago, since which time several unsuccessful
attempts have been made TO persuade the
citizens TO support the building of a new
school. Incendiarism is not charged, how
ever, and 1t is supposed that the fire orig
mated from overheated furnace.
