BEGIN WORK ON
NEW ARMORY MONDAY

The contracting firm of Erb & Van
Patton of this city have secured the
contract for the construction of the
new armory building and the excav-
alton work will be commenced next
Monday. The contract price is $685.
$50, and the contract calls for the
completion of the building by June
of next year.
The bid is about $4,000 less than
the original bid for the construction
Of the armory. This is due, how
ever, to the fact that as the original
plans called for a building which
could not be brought within the sum
available many matters have been
eliminated-the building itself being
made smaller than originally contem-
plated.

ROOF BURNED OFF
STOCKTON RESIDENCE

A fire originating either from de-
fective wiring in the building or
from the fireplace, destroyed all of
the roof on the residence of j. L.
Stockton, the merchant, last evening
before the flames could be extin-
guished by the fire department.
The fire was first observed about
Z O'Clock, and the fire fighters were
soon on the scene. The water pres
sure was low, and the chemical had
to be brought into use in putting out
the fire. The ceilings, walls, car
pets and furniture in the building
were badly damaged, and these,
when counted in with the destroyed
roof, brings the loss up to a goodly
sum.
