LAMONT SCHOOL BURNS
Recently Completed $4,000 Nigh
School Badly Damaged BY fire
Early Sunday M0raine.

Lannon'S fine new High School
building was gutted by fire which
was discovered about 4:3O o'clock
Sunday morning, the fire starting is:
the southwest room of the second
floor. The fire was discovered by
Austin Sellars, who was returning
from a party in the country. He
smelled smoke when he reached the
south, part of town, but could not
see the fire until after he crossed
the railroad tracks. He Immediately
went to the Herald office, Just north
of the school building and turned in
an alarm. The fire boys were soon
aroused, but by the time they reach
ed the scene the roof was in flames,
and they had hard fight on their
hands, but succeeded in getting con-
troll of the fire after the upper floor
was gutted.
The fire started in the civics room
in the southwest corner of the build
ing, and while many theories have
been advanced as to it's origin, the
most plausible is that of spontaneous
combustion. The building was just
being completed and workmen had
been vanishing in this room Satur-
day and probably left some oil Gov
cred rags which ignited and the
flames crept up the woodwork to the
roof
Nothing was saved from the second
floor of the building, the fine piano,
Victrola, and all OF the books be-
longing to the students were burned,
as we'll as much costly apparatus.
The new laboratory equipment had
just been installed on this floor.
While there was insurance on the
building we understand that no in
surance had yet been placed on the
furniture and equipment so that this
loss will fall quite heavily on the
school district
The first floor of the building was
not damaged by fire, but there is
considerable damage from smoke
and water.
The loss on the building is .estf-
mated at from $4,000 to, $25,O00,
and it is insured for $4,000.
The building was the pride of La
r,oni, costing in the neighborhood of
$50, 900, and the loss of both the use
OF the building and the financial loss
is severe blow to Lamont, But they
are not the kind to keep down, and
they will rebuild the school building
at once.

No Foot and Mouth Disease in Deca.
tur County.

'sS All over the country the prevalence
OF the dreaded foot and mouth dis
ease among cattle and hogs is Great
ing CONSERVATION among live stock
men. The Chicago stock yards clos
ed last Friday for nine days, and
rigid quarantine regulations against
the shipping of stock has been adopt
ed by many states, Iowa being among
them, as the disease has appeared in
Iowa, Johnson and Jones counties. 1t
was reported that a herd of cattle at
Weldon in this county had the dis
ease and federal authorities hurried
there the first of the week and made
an examination, but found that the
cattle were not suffering from this
disease. Owing to the extreme rigid
quarantine and the killing of all in
fected herds, it is thought the disease
will be completely er9dicated and
that the Chicago stock yards will be
open for business next week.

dealer says of the fine sorrel team
owned by Swift & Co. which has been
used for several years in Leon, and
which was sent to Creston last week:
One of the prettiest teams OF draft
horses ever put into service in this
city is that now pulling the Swift &
CT. truck. The horses are sorrel in
ycolor, perfectly matched, and are
the prize team of Swift &
Co. outside Chicago. The only reason
that the company allowed the team
to leave the Chicago service is that
the standard color is gray in that
