.DES MONIES VISITED
BY DISASTROUS FIRE

On Saturday the zGtn, at I o'clock
Des Moines was visited by one Of
the most destructive fires she has
had in many years.
The property was owned by +. f..
Cory, and consisted of two large
store buildings and a garage but
through the efforts of employees and
friends, the garage was saved with
most Of Mr.. Cory's household goods,
since he was living in the rear Of
one of the store buildings.
The cause of the fire has not yet
been determined. II is reported that
there was in the open space between
the garage and the nearest building
an elevated storage tank for water
that had been encased in sawdust
and a substantial board covering,
and the fire originated in this tank.
Mr.. Cory and one of his men en-
plOyed at the garage were the first
on the scene. Immediately they
Connected up the hose IN the garage
to the tank that was on fire, only
10 find that the tank had been per-
mitted TO run dry. The man helping
Mr. Cory fight The fire went to have
the city water turned on, which took
some 10 minutes to accomplish. Then
they found that in some way during
This lapse of time The available hose
had been burned, so a garden hose
was connected up and the garage
was saved, but the two store build
ings were a total loss.
1t is reported that insurance pol
icies had been cancelled only a few
days previous to the fire by Mr. J. J
Rogers, the local agent for the COM
p9ny that carried the policies.
Two dwellings in the little village
of Dedman, about 10 miles northwest
of Des Moines, burned the same
night It is reported lamp ex-
ploded and set one and the other
close by caught from the intensive
heat.
