Waltemath's ice house and beer Btoragc vault in the southern part of town caught fire Wednesday morning and burned very nearly to, the ground. It is not known just how the fire caught but Mr. Walte maths theory is that some of the boys, who were in the habit of play ing around the cupola of the build ing and attempting to catch the pigeons which roost there, must have dropped a match inside.

Quite a little trouble was also experienced in getting water on account of the lack of hose at first. The contents were insured but the major portion of them were saved. There was no insurance on the building .and Mr. Waltcmath will lose about $900.
