Loss Is Estimated at Ap.

ORIGIN SAID TO BE
DUE TO DEFECTIVE WIRING
Only Walls of Building Are Left
Machinery Tangled Mass-Much
Broom Corn Also Destroyed
Kept Four Statesmen on Road

Lamar suffered $4,000 fire loss
about 10 O'Clock Monday night
when the broom factory was totally
destroyed, together with all its ma
chinery and a considerable quaint
ity of broom corn brush.
Tuesday evenings Lamar Daily
News has the following account of
the fire:
"A fire broke out in the plant of
the Lamar Broom and Brush com
pany about 10 o'clock Monday
night, and practically ruined the
entire factory The machinery was
located on the second floor, while
an immense stock of brOoms and
broom corn was stored on the first
floor and in the basement
"All that remains this morning
of the splendid establishment are
the four walls of the building own
ed by the company and tangled
water soaked mass of raw material,
charred goods and twisted machin-
cry.
"The loss is estimated as in ex-
cess of $l5,000-with partial insur-
ance The company is composed
entirely of Lamar mrechants and
had been doing very large bust
ness since it's organization few
years since.
I-,. This was the second fire in the
plant since it's establishment, the
first being caused from stove, and
that of last night being charged to
defective wiring. Manager Hawkins
| started yesterday morning for Baca
county on buying trip; four men
have been employed on the road
selling the finished product"

Horace Wright Made Good Show
ing on Five Acres.

ii. p. Wright, one of the leading
farmers in this section, who lives
four miles northwest of town has
threshed his this seasons wheat
crop and reports As bushels to the
acre on a 5-acre tract while his 60
acre field averaged 81 bushels per
acre.
The 5-acre patch was threshed
while it was quite wet and tough
from rainfall and he and his neigh
bors say that had the grain been
in good dry condition it should
have shown a yield of at least S.
bushels per acre
MI. Wright also has an eXcep

Never was there a fair in the

SO many that it is difficult to
enumerate them all, but among
them will be a. championship series
of automobile races, and in this
there have been entered already
some half dozen of the most noted
speed kings of this country and
Europe, men who have records for
speed and daring equaled by none.
A train is required to carry the
outfit and ears of Z famous auto
polo troupe, who will perform this
exciting and dangerous game for
the entertainment Of fair visitors.
A famous balloon and parachute
artist is another attraction; Wom-

This will be staged in front of a

steel, wood and iron. The battle

A MAN AND
HIS BANK

A business man is known just as he is
known at his bank And he is known
at his bank by the way in which he
keeps his monetary affairs.
This, in turn, places an obligation up
on the bank itself-that Of cheerful
and helpful service offered freely at
all times to the responsible customer.
And that is the attitude this bank
takes to help the ambitious business
man in the safe conduct Of his affairs
Call and ask us to explain this more in
detail 1t will involve no obligation
on your part whatsoever We have
distinct banking service to offer, and
want to tell you face to face just what
it is.
