any fire. 1t was as dark as pitch
when we got to town, and the people

Saturday night Gust Soderquist had
the misfortune to lose his old log
house and all it's contents by fire.
Mr.. Soderquist had recently purchased
200 little chicks and it is thought
the fire started from the oil brooder.
The chicken house, built last year,
also caught fire but by constant pour
ing on of water, after carrying out
all the chicks, the fire was put out
on that building. 1t was fortunate
for the SOderQuists that there was
party going on at the school house
near by and with the help of all those
people it was possible to save the
other buildings. There was a high
wind and for time it looked as if
other buildings would burn. The old
house was built of logs and it was
now used as shop, so all tools and
many useful things were stored there,
among them the screens for his new
house. Mr.. SOderquist has the SYM
pathy of the entire community in his
loss.
The party at the school house Sat
urday evening was well attended and
a general good time is reported.
