FIRE 1T AUDRAIN POULTRY
COMPANY MONDAY NIGHT.
Fire Which Started in Basement at
1880 Monday Night-COnsidera-
BILE Damage Was Done.
CAUSE NOT KNOWN
Fire Department Makes Fast Run and
Has Fire Extinguished by $3.50:
Many Chickens Dead.

Monday night little after Z o'clock
fire was discovered in the 2-story
brick building adjoining the Airdome
on West Monroe street and occupied by
the Audrain Produce Company, of
which G. W. Strain is manager. IL
ewellyn's Drug Store was notified and
an alarm sent in. The fire company
responded promptly. There was a
large quantity of live and dressed
poultry stored in the basement, which
is a total loss. The origin of the fire
is not known.
Had the discovery of the blaze been
delayed thirty minutes the entire west
side of the square would have been
seriously threatened with destruction
as the wind was from the northwest.
After an hours hard work the de-
partment had the fire under control,
but not until it had gutted the in
side of the building and destroyed
most of the stock of the company.
Mr.. Strain, manager of the Pultry
Company, stated that the amount Of
the loss was not definitely known, but
he thought the insurance carried was
sufficient to cover it.
The building is owned by Frank A
Sannebeck, who was unable to esti
mate definitely the damage done tt
the building, but stated that hC
thought the insurance would cover thu
loss.
The upper floor of the building il
used by L. r. Ferris for store room
and tinshop, only a small hole wa
burned through to the upper floor
and but slight damage was done there
mostly by the smoke.
Mr.. Sannebeck says that as soon a
building will be repaired.
Mr.. Strain could not tell definitel
the plans for the Produce Compan!
yet.

VOTE Eyes"

IF a mile of good road had been
built for every good road meeting and
BANQUET held in Audrain county dur
ing the past few years, mud holes ana
impassable highways would be prae-
tically a matter of history here. The
agitation has had its effect in that the
sentiment for improved highways IS
practically universal.
The necessity for efficient and UNI
form road building is being realized
more and more, and the movement
for highway engineer in this county
to be voted on at the coming eiectioh'
is a matter that will mean much 10
US if it carries.
If you send for a physician to care
for your sick, mechanic to correc'
ycur machine troubles and teaenef
to instruct your schools, is it not 1uiis
as important to have an expert .c
build YOUR roads, especially II MS
position will enable him to purchase
material at a saving far in excess o'
his yearly salary?
The vote for highway engineer
should he unanimous in this county
Not to carry the issue will be a stel
backward. So far, we have heard ne
intelligent argument advanced against
such an official and trust this means
the question will meet with no 0ppOS'
