er, the lease has been made
for one year with an option to
buy, and Winkler Furniture
Company viii give possession as
soon as the refrigerator people
are ready to begin operations.

not only the building but all Of

Open Furnace Door Cause Fire
Scare.

The fire department was called
Sunday night to the Lafayette
County Trust Company build
which seemed to be on fire. The
fire fighters entered through the
front door by breaking the
glass, but found no fire. How
ever, they traced the source Of
the smoke to the basement,
where they found the furnace
door open. It very probably had
been forced open by the expio-
sion of gas. The walls of the
banking room were damaged
somewhat from the smoke.
