"HoLY SMOKE"
The Pretty Christian Church South
Of The Park Goes Up In Flames.
Trustees Will Rebuild.

AT 4:40 P. NJ. Tuesday, the bell
sounded the alarm of fire and soon
a dense smoke issuing from the
Christian Church, proclaimed to
the fast gathering crowd the origin
of the blaze. Soon the volunteer fire
brigade wac at work and two
streams of water were playing
against the west wall of the church
and on the east side and roof of the
parsonage not over 20 feet distant.
As the fire started in the basement
and ran up between the lath aud
weather boarding to the roof and
had made such headway when dis
covered it was seen that all efforts
to save the building would be futile
and every man and boy able to do
duty were soon carrying out the
seats, organ. piano, and whatever
other detached belongings that
could be moved and carried to
places of safety. Through the kind
offers of the Catholic people their
school building was rendered and
accepted as storage room for the
present.
After many efforts the west wall
of the church was toppled over into
the waning blaze and coon all the
danger to the parsonage was over.
Mr.. A. M. Larson, who occupied
the Parsonage, with the willing
help of the bystanders soon
had all his household goods remov-
ed to places os safety in anticipa-
ton of the destructlo n Of the build
ing and today as their fears, happi-
ly were groundless they are moving
back again. Too much praise can
not be given to both the workers at
the building and the scores of men
at work on the hand engine sta
toned at the hydrant near the K. P
Hall for their strenuous work fo1
an hour and more working in relays
country people as well as those in
town who we're more interested
working like Trojans until the dan.
ger point was passed. The building
was insured by Theo Patty for $l50C
and by Howard $500. making a to.
tai of $4,000. The Trustees will meet
Sunday afternoon at the Park Ho.
tel to decide as to when a new bull.
ding will be commenced and to per-
feet all other arrangements neces.
sasy to the erection of new edifice.
