EPISCOPAL RECTORY
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The handsome Episcopal rectory
at New Meadows, just completed
at cost of $500. was burne.. to the
ground Sunday night, according to
word received by Rt. Rev. James B.
Funston. bishop of Idaho. The fire
Is believed to have been caused by
defective flue. While the struct-
ure was totally consumed. the loss
Is partly covered by insurance to
the amount Of $1,000.
Bishop Funston announced that a
new rectory will at once be built
on the same site and 1t probably
will be more costly than the one
destroyed. In the fire Rev. and
Mrs. A. l.. Wood lost all of their be-
longings and $50 in cash, but es-
capped from the rectory with their
three children without injury.
