House Destroyed By Fire

On Tuesday evening about o'clock
as we were going home from our work
we saw bright light in the northwest
and expressed our fear that it might be
some building on fire. This turned out
to be true as the home of Charlie Huess
who lives out about five miles was burn
cd to the ground When it was discov-
cred the flames were bursting from the
roof which made it impossible to save
much of the contents. The house built
some five years ago was good one and
much of the furniture was purchased a
year ago when Mr., Heuss brought his
bride here from Germany. just how it
caught is not definitely known but sup
posed to be from the chimney

The labor necessary to keep the
