Reinbeck. Aug. 1.--Fire broke out in
the Gethmann Brick Com pany's plant
here yesterday afternoon, completely
destroying all their sheds, ware
houses. lighthouses and engine room.
Nothing was saved except the office
and barn.
The loss is from $1,000 to $4,000 and
insurance Is about $4,000. The COM
pany will rebuild at once and begin
operations as quickly as possible.
One of the greatest losses will be the
delay in filling orders for brick, which
ut this time of the year are heavy, but
undoubtedly the work Of rebuilding the
sheds will commence as soon as the
loss Is adjusted and probably the plant
will be running again in a months
time or less.
The fire is supposed to have started
from kiln which had been burned
and had been opened to cool. The lreat
had ignited the roof and in an incredit-
able short time the fire spread to all
the sheds and beyond all control. 1t
maodc one OF the most spectacular fires
ever seen In this city, the black smoke
could be seen for miles and people
came in autos for miles around think
Ing the town was burning up. Fortu-
nately the wind was from the north
west which blew the fire from other
buildings. The firemen worked nobly
and did all that could be done to con-
troll the fire and keep it within GER
tain bounds.

Accused Of Larceny After Giving Evi.
denes in Horse Stealing Case.
Newton. Aug. 1.-The preliminary
trial in the horse stealing case of state
vs. Sumberg was opened. with thirty
one witnesses subpoenaed all told, sew
enteen for the state and thirteen for
the defense. The state is basing their
case on the fact that horse resembling
the one stolen from n. l. Phipps is
known to have been In Sumberg's pos
session. and upon the Identification Of
the horse. The defense Is attempting
to prove that the horse in question is
not the one stolen from the Phipps
stable
The defense opened their case with
Sumberg on the stand. Sumberg
claimed to have bought the horse from
John Burke. a horse trader who is one
Of the witnesses, some time between
Dec. Is and Jan. Is.
Burke then took the stand and upon
being examined claimed to have bought
the horse with its mother when 1t was
a sucking colt. and that It received the
wire cut on the knee which has been
used by the state in the Identification,
when 1t was about 2 months old.
No sooner had Burke left the chair
than he was arrested for larceny. He
was placed under $500 bonds. which
has not yet been arranged for as yet,
but probably will be soon. This is
new development in the case and may
have a great deal to do with the out
come. The defense had not yet rested
when the court adjourned for dinner.
