STARCH WORKS
ELEVATOR BURNS
STRUCTURE OF FOOT OF WAP-
ELLo STREET is TOTALLY
DESTROYED BL FLAMES
Loss is Complete, Amounting to $500
HAS Not Been Used Since 1893 and
Was Abandoned in 1eos-oriein of
Fire Unknown.

Fire broke out Saturday evening at
1880 o'clock in the old abandoned ele-
vator at the foot of Wapello street be-
longing to the National Starch
Works Of New York, completely
destroying the building, entailing loss
OF $1,000 with no insurance as far as
Is known. 1t is thought that the blaze
was started by tramps.
The fire happened at time when
the central station firemen were re-
turned from the south side, where
they had just extinguished blaze at
the residence of Frank Burtlow, 1903
North Davis street.
BY the time of the arrival Of the de-
partment the fire had gained consider
able Roadway The building being as
dry as finder was soon eneveloped in
flames and it was only with strenuous
efforts theat the warehouse next to
the elevator, occupied by the j. H.
Merrill Grocery company, was saved
from destruction.
The warehouse contained several
carloads of sugar, but neither the
building nor the sugar were damaged
to any great extent.
Built In 1887.
- The building destroyed was a frame
structure built by the Ottumwa Starch
Works in the year of 1887 and equip
PEI for an elevator. The structure
was put up by the company at cost
of $4,000 besides the cost of the eleva-
tor machinery and a large scales with
which it was equipped.
The huf1dinp wa q usod Inv tho Off,,v,
wa Starch Works while that concern
was in operation. After the purchase
of the Ottumwa Starch Works by the
National Starch Works Of New York
which was in 1890 it was used
by the latter until 1893
After the purchase by the present
owners the plant was left inactive, al
though Waterman was employed on
the premises to look after the COM
pany's property. Since 1903 there has
been no Waterman at the old works
and the elevator has become rem
devious for tramps.
1t Is thought that the fire was start
ed by a crowd of tramps, who it is
said, were loafing in the building late
Saturday afternoon.
Loss About $500.
When seen yesterday, /. N. Mast,
the last salaried representative of the
local branch of the National Sharch
Z Works said: The ola elevator at the
foot of Wapello street has been unoccu-
pied SO long that, while it was built at
a cost of $4,000 besides the cost of ma
chinery equipment. it has deprecated
In value and with the total destruction
the loss will probably not be over
$1,000. AS far as know there was no
insurance on the structure since the
company ceased to keep a watchman
on the premises, which mas been for
the past three years"
Mr.. Mast for twenty-five years was

drive on the old turnpike east of here,
over the mountain to the Hatch tavern

up many years. You went up to the
Elbow and then turned east. You can
see the old road yet. Didn't go
through the Woodfords in those days.
~ can remember lot of drivers but
can't recall just what lines all of them
drove on. Most Of them drove on all

first or last. They did not stick to one
line. [ remember Matt Gandell and
his brother Jim of Whitehall They
used to drive sometimes on the north
