Perry, May 13.-At IL o'clock Sunday
noon fire broke out in the rear OF b. l..
Auten's barber shop and bath rooms,

houses. and contents. The wind was
blowing a gale from the south, and
this for a time threatened, the entire
north part or town, including the Iowa
house, Modlin & Co., lumber yards, c.,
M. & st. p. depot, elevator and high
school building. 1T was only due to the
heroic work of the fire company and
the citizens that a greater catastrophe
was not experienced. For three hours
firemen and business men fought to
check the flames, Time and time again
buildings near by were affre, 'but the
flames were extinguished. As,far away
as three ard four blocks buildings
caught fire and We're saved by a buck
ct and garden hose brigade
At the tirne the fire was raging the
worst, a second fire alarm was sounds
ed from the south part Of the city. That
blaze, luckily, was easily extinguished,
and left the entire force to work on the
business buildings.
Every available fire fighting appar-
atus was pressed into service, and with
excellent water pressure the fire was
brought under control at 8 p. m.
Mayor Modlin called on Des Moines
for help, but afterward cancelled the
call, when 1t was seen that outside
help would not be needed.
The origin Of the fire is unknown at
this time, but it lis supposed to have
started in pile Of rubbish near one
of the buildings.
The loss will foot up about $4,000.
The buildings being Of frame construc-
ton and old, made the loss less than
1t otherwise would have been. The
losses are: s

most Of them containing drafts for

tiers with money in them from other
banks and from depositors had never

1t was discovered that three months
ago two directors of the bank had
hurriedly borrowed $4,000 at Center
vile to tide, over. a temporary strin-
Ngency." All investigation is being
made, and If the directors borrowed
the money for the bank they must have
known its condition, hence, according
to the state examiner they are liable to
arrest for receiving deposits for the
bank they knew to be failing. It is
not yet proved, however, that the $l5s7-,
O00 was borrowed for the Seymour
