Fire this moraing destroyed an old

but both were saved. A call was sent
to River Falls, and equipment was
taken out. The building was one that
has long been used for storage pur-
poses, and was owned by the bank.

by two little boys who were playing
with matches. Two autos were among
the varied assortment of articles lost

their gas masks, saved the Opera
Horse by forcing their way into the
attic and extinguishing the flames. A
bucket brigade, carrying water from
the dance pavilion basement, saved
the fair ground grandstand.
