out Tuesday noon to put out a fire
in the Brick building near Wash

Lutheran Ladies Aid Society were
holding social at the time and haG
built fire in one of the stoves. II
was not noticed that the chimney
had been broken off just below the
roof and the roof placed over the tor
of the bricks. It was in this manner
that the fire caught in the roof ani
burned considerable before it was
put out, Other societies have been
holding socials in the building a.
different times and 1T is a wonder
that the building did not catch on
fire before.
