Packing Plant Destroyed When Stove

Responds To Call.

A loss estimated at $4,000. partly
covered by insurance. was sustained
by the Decatur Orchard company
early Tuesday evening. when fire
destroyed the concerns packing and
storing shed located two miles north
OF here.
The building was OF one story
frame construction with a cellar
and was 80 by "a feet in dimention-
The fire presumably started from
oil st ives left burning In the build
ing to prevent freezing OF the large
amount OF apples stored therein.
Mr.. Walking, manager OF the farm
was sick in bed with the flu at the
time and is still confined TO MS
room. An employee of the place
stated he filled the stoves with OIL
lust before six O'Clock as was the
usual custom. intending to inspect
them again before going TO bed.
As the Walking family was in the
house. the fire was not discovered
until the building was all aflame at
about $3.50 O'Clock, when an alarm
was turned into Filler, and the fire
department responded with the fire
engine.
However, the fire had made such
Roadway before the arrival OF the
crew that assistance was unavailing.
The freezing temperature Of the eve
ming, and the fact that the roads
were covered with deep snow, made
travel somewhat difficult and hazar-
dous for the fire truck.
According to Mr.. Walking, the
building housed. besides elaborate
picking and packing equipment,
two carloads of apples, spray ma
terial and other valuahles.
The Decatur Orchard farm of zoo
