Building Last Night.

Fordyce, Nov. 1S.-The Fordycc
High school building vas totally de-
stroyed tonight by fire. entailing a
loss of more than $4,000, which is
only partially protected by insurance

in the basement, probably from the
heating apparatus, and had gained
great Roadway before it was discov-
cred. None of the contents of the
building were saved.
The building, a two-story brick
structure, was erected about seven
years ago, and cost $4,000. A sum
approximating $4,000 was expended
at that time for furniture and fix
lures.
The school board has almost COM
pleted the work of transforming the
old Clary Industrial school here into
a new high school building, and the
structure which burned tonight was
to be used after this session as a
grade school.

FINDING OF BOYS
BODY MYSTIFYING

Chicago, Nov. '1S.-The body of g.
year-old Cyril "Sonny" Matthews, who
was lost from his home here nine
months ago, was washed ashore by
Lake Michigan today, ending a ma
tion-wide search for the body.
The police say the mystery had been
increased rather than cleared, by the
discovery of the body, which was
found by former playmate of the
lad, who was wandering along the
lake shore. The police believe it i'm
possible that the body should have re-
manned in the lake since February,
and expressed the opinion that "Son-
ny" was held by kidnappers for sew
eral months, and then killed for fear
of detection.
