fire OF unknown
ORIGIN DESTROYS
LAKE BANK BUILDING
Theory Advanced That Bur-
glars May Have Set Off
High Explosives

Fire from an explosion presumably
caused by an attempt of burglars TO
open the safe, destroyed the First
State Bank of Medicine Lake build
ing early Wednesday morning.
Residents of the town were awak-
ened about $3.50 Wednesday morning
by the explosion. The fire spread
rapidly, and although the fire de-
partment responded promptly the
building was oon reduced to sm0ul-
dering ashes.
Office equipment and fixtures are
stated to be a total loss. Contents OF
the big safe were unchanged.
After the fire had subdued to a
point where investigation was pos
sible it was found that the Knob on
the safe door was missing. A theory
| is advanced that burglars were at
| tempting to blow the safe and the
| handling OF the explosives caused the
| fire in the building. 1t was pointed
+! out that nothing was stored in the
| building that would have caused ar
explosion.
The safe door was opened by al
| acetylene torch Wednesday morning
| The contents Of the safe were IN
tact.
Temporary banking quarters have
| been set up in the office building O
| S. c. Faaborg, and which was for
merly used as a banking institution
1t was learned that the loss Is GOV
cred by insurance.

 Where the weeping willows grow, And there's one that's taller than
 the rest, Bill, | A place that we well know. For there we used to wander, Bill, In happiness or in pain, For the solitude of the wilds, Bill, Will heal the wounds again. It was there that the hopes of for
 tune dream, Was blasted all to hell, And we told our story to the wild
