CHURCH AND RESIDENCE
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

The Christian church, of Hiek-
man, was destroyed by fire a
bout noon Friday, and sparks
from this eonflagration ignited
and caused the destruction of the
ll-roOm residence of Mrs. Clara
Outten, block and half away.
The church sustains a loss OF
something like $1,000, and ear
ried no insurance. Only the walls
of building remains to mark the
site of this once pretty little
church. Fortunately, most of the
furniture was saved.
just how the fire originated il
not positively known, but the
best explanation given is that the
building contained a blind
flue." This old flue was re-
placed by a new one, but the
''thimble" or opening for the pipe
to the former was not stopped,
and when the stove was set up
this fall, the pipe was run into
the bad flue. This termined
Just under the shingled roof -
making a shingle cap for it =
and the result can easily be fig
ured out, as the church was be-
ing cleaned up and a fire built
in the stove Friday morning. II
is said several fires had been III
the stove during the past few
weeks, and the wonder is the root
did not catch fire before.

Question of title to the property
1t seems this building was erect
ed some fifty yars ago by the
German Lutherans-a large anC
flourishing denomination IN Hick
man at that time. This church
finally dwindled In membership
until services were discontinued
and the one or two remaining
members of the original churcl
seemed to be its only custodians
who kindly offered its use to th'
Christian congregation at differ
ent times. The building also ha
a history as a school building
But, to shorten the story, tn

of the property and looked afte
