VENERABLE CATHOLIC CHURCH
BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE
Huron, S. D., Aug. 17.-Fire Of I'M
Martins Catholic church in this city
this morning. Two services had been
held during the morning, and Father
q. f. Desmond, the rector, had not been
out of the church more han a quarter
of an hour when the alarm was turned
in. 1t is believed that the draperies
on one of the small affairs in the chan
eel must have taken fire from a candle.
The fire worked through the walls into
the space between the ceiling and the
roof, and was hard to locate.
What was not damaged by fire and
smoke was drenched with water. Only
the altar furniture and the priests
Nestments were taken out. Although
the building was not badly burned
outside, the damage inside is so great
that 1t will probably have to be rebuilt.
1t was covered by insurance. st. Mar
TINS church is over 80 years old, the
present structure being the one that
was erected here in pioneer times, when
IL was considered a very fine structure.
