In Safety.

The building known as the old
school house at Tracy, Mimi, was
burned to the ground last Thursday
afternoon. AS school was in session
there were $50 pupils in the build
ing at 1.-THE time but they were
marched out without injury.
The fire started at 2:l5 p, m,
from what is believed to have been
an over-heated chimney. The
building had been thoroughly re-
paired before the opening of school
last fall and was in very good con-
dition, so it is a great loss to the
town.
The estimated loss is $4,000 which
is partly covered by insurance.
Work on the new fire proof struc-

pring. The children will be &C

Long before the middle of June,
barring accidents, Mr.. Joseph Tyson
will have the park in splendid shape
and every part easily accessible. In
that case, with favorable weather
conditions. visitors will come from
every part of the county and from

Mrs. Reset Schmahl, survivor of
the Sioux Indian massacre of 1862,
mother of julius A. Schmahl. secre-
tary of state, and of Herman G.
Schmahl, and A. Schmahl of this city,
celebrated her twentieth bir thday
anniversary last Thursday at which
time she was "a years old. She was
born in Germany, February %, 1928.
The fact that 1900 was not a leap
year, though fourth year, and was
therefore without a February 20,
reduced her actual birthdays to
twenty.
When the Sioux uprising came in
Minnesota in 1862, Mrs. Schmahl was
with her husband and family on a
homestead about three miles from
Fort Ridgely.
During the massacre, Mrs
Schmahl was in the stockade mould

there, too, she gave birth to Herman

save them from the clutches of the
White slave agents.

After all the armory building, Of

Major Nicholson and Colonel Wright
both favor going forward with the
work in spite of the necessary re-
duction in size.
Only Essentials To Go On
1t is understood that everything
not absolutely esse initial will be
eliminted and the building will be as
large as the funds permit.
1t is confidently believed that when
the new bids are opened NJ. O.
Byrum will be the lowest bidder.
When the bids were opened at Aus
tin the last time he was second but
even then upon a revision along the
lines adopted by the Minneapolis
bidders Mr.. Byrum cut into the low
est place.
Offices To Be Left Out
1t is now planned to make the
building 100 feet long and to leave
out all of the offices which were to
go in the front. Other interior
changes will be made that the con-
tractor may not be obliged to go
above $4,000.
The immediate need of the arm
DRY is apparent to the company and
regiment officers and everything
possible will be done to erect it at
once instead Of waiting for more
funds.
