The Manson gate factory burned to
the ground few nights ago. The fire
was discovered shortly after mid
night, but the flames had made such
Roadway that nothing could be done
to save either stock or building, and

was directed to saving the adjoining
buildings. With the mercury at zero

The building was owned by G. e.
Haney and was fully insured. The
loss Is about $4,000. The origin of the
fire is unknown, as there had been
nobody working in the building for
two weeks and there was no fire in
or near the place. The factory will
be rebuilt.

George High, of Ola, exploded with
terrific force, completely disrupting
the house but leaving the inmates I'M
