From SATURDAYS DaUv.
Fire was discovered in the third
floor Of the Leo S. Lamm building IN
block fourteen at about 1920 o'clock
last evening, and the building had a
close call. Joseph Lawrence, the barber,
was on his way home, and in passing
the building heard water dripping down
in Schroeder & Nlurphy's hardware
store, and supposing that water pipe
had burst on the upper floor he called
up Mr.. Sshroeder's home and learned
that he was attending lodge, and mott
fled him there.
Thought Came to Leak.
Mr.. Schroeder at once went to the
store. but was unable to find any cause
for the water coming down, as every
thing was all right on the first floor
and basement He then called up
Mr.. I.amm, who al once went to the
building. On reaching the third floor
which is a lodge hall and leased by
the Sons of Herman, he used his pass
KEY. and found the rooms filled with
smoke Hastily closing the doors to
prevent draft, he notified the fire de-
partment. and an alarm from box "a
soon brought the department to the
spot.
Located the Fire.
The fire was found to be located in
the toilet room, the woodwork OF
which was all ablaze. The fire had
melted off the lead water pipe, and II
was the water that escaped in this
way that had found its way down
to the first floor, and it is likely that
the fire had been burning for some
time before it was discovered, fOl
it would have taken some time to have
gotten heat enough to melt the LEAD
and for the water to have found Its
way down through two floors.

Mrs. W. j. Jewett died at about two
O'Clock yesterday afternoon at a To-
cal hospital, where. she had been for Il

Origin of Fire Unknown.
1t is not known definitely just how
the fire started, but it is suspected
that it started from defective insulation
of the electric light. wires near the
ceiling, and that sparks falling down
ionited the woodwork lower down, thus
causing. the entire room to take fire

Mr.. Lamm is unable to state eX-

is from fire and water, but thinks
That it will probably amount to about
$500 The building is insured. The
Sons of Herman sustained damage tc
their praphernalia of possibly $50
This is also insured. Schroeder Murphy
sustained some damage to their stock
from water.
Had Mr. Lawrence not discovered the
water dripping down and promptly
notified Mr. Schroeder, bad fire might
have been a raging furnace. AS II
was, would have burned a big hole
in the building before it would be dis
covered at that time of the night
and when discovered would doubtless
have been a raging furnace. Ase il
was. the firemen are deserving O
, credit for getting it out so promptly.

NEWS FROM HOME AND ELSEWHERE

the recent robbery of F. W., IobdelPs
meat market, when his safe was en-
tered and the cash box pried out and
taken away, has turned up. 1t was one
drawn in favor of Mr.. Lobdell by A.
S. Wilson, an official of the kasota
Elevator company, and was for $500,
and was drawn on the first State Bank
of Kasota.
The first of the present week this
check was found in car load of grain
that was being unloaded at Morristown,
and it was forwarded to the bank up
on which it was drawn, and the bank
turned it over to Mr.. Wilson.
1t would appear from this that the
thief broke open the box either in the
railroad yards or in a ear, and left the
checks and took the money.
