p.iign f'»r f'^r
Christian Association l)ui'ding, the
fund has grown to anri the man-
ageinent io well l»lea^cd with the prog-

The loss is estimated at between
$.'’,.1,000 and -;10.000 and nearly 100 jco-
ple are thrown out, ot employment.
This plant manufactured kit'ben
safcr^ and was one of the mo;--t suc
cessful plants in the town.
Mr. J. ^V. Lambcih was principal
owner.
There was onl.% about $S,000 insur
ance.
The origin of the fire is unkno\vn as
the entire building w,is a nias--- of

It is rot definitely known but it i'.
