After the meeting of the associa-

The treasurer's annual report showed

slowed upon the grounds during the

Two lot owners have made an en-
dowment of 500 each, the money 10

maintenance of their lots. This is
considered by the trustees to be a
start in the right direction and may
open the way for others to make pro
visions for the future care of lots

The trustees can hardly imagine

SCHOOL FIRE A YEAR AGO
TWELVE MONTHS SINCE HIGH
SCHOOL BURNED.
II Was Just One Year Ago That Fire
of Mysterious Origin Started in the
Basement of the Norfolk High
School and Destroyed it.

This is the first anniversary of the
Sunday morning, fire broke out in the
basement Of the Norfolk high school
building, building of press brick and
stone and one of the most imposing
school structures in north Nebraska.
First discovered at 500 a. m, the
fire burned with unfinished vigor
for two hours. BY s o'clock the
school house was virtually a ruin.
The building which burned year
ago was completed in 1890. 1t was
designed by j. c. Stitt and cost the
district about $4,000. Insurance
amounting to $4,000 was carried on
the building. In the fire that destroy.
ed the high school building all of the
school records of the city were lost.
On the site of the old building Nor
folk has nearly completed a new and
larger high school. But for over a
year the school facilities of the city
have been seriously crippled. 1t is tc
the credit of City Superintendent E
], Bodwell and the teaching force he
has gathered about him that the work
of the past year has been up to anG
perhaps even excelling former stand
ards. The big fire proved Mr.. Bod
wells ability as an organizer.

FORTUNATE IN ONE WAY.
No Lives Were Lost in The Norfolk
High School Fire.

While all Norfolk mourned the loss
of the handsome hish school structure
which was consumed by fire just a
year ago, there was one feature in
connection with the burning which, in
view of the recent Cleveland holo-
caust in which over 100 children were
burned to death, should give relief to
the whole community. The Norfolk
school fire came in the highland on
Sunday. There were no children in
the building. No lives were lost. II
might have been worse-vastly worse
II was worse in Cleveland.
