Much Loss to M unlock
The fair village of Murdock suf
fered a very severe blow in tl:e de
struction by fire of the Implement
and garage building of Wm. Gehrts
when it. with the little building
owned by G. Bauer, was destroyed
and the postoflice building badly
damaged. The lire was caused by
the explosion o the stove in the re
pair department of the parage
which was owned by Jesse Landholm
where in his assistant, Dilltr I'tt.
va -. building a fire on Tuesday
morning. The entire town and near
tanning community worked with all
the vigor possible but to no avail
and the structure which was of con
crete blocks, vent down. Mr. Gehrts
is the heaviest loser, his los amount
ing to near $25,000, there being no
insurance on the building and but a
small amount on the stock of goods
which he carried. There was a num
ber of cars in the garage besides the
stock if implements. Jesse Land
holm is the next heaviest loser, his
Iocs being approximately $5,000, the
next being Will Heier, Jr.. who had
a new Buick which cost him almost
$2,000 but a short time since. The
buKding in which Mr. E. K. Norton
was living was burned and he said
regarding the matter, "This is the
first time I had enough help when I
had to move and we moved in a
hurry." The house was valued at
$200 by Mr. Bauer, the owner. Here
has gone to Mr. Gehrts th results
of thirty years hard work. This
leaves Mr. Gehrts and Mr. Land
holm without a business and Mr.
Utt without a job.
Mr. Charles Schafer will handle
the oil station which has been re
cently installed in Murdock. The
gentlemen who have suffered the
loss of their business will know in
a sbort time just what, they will ex
pert to do in the future.

Worth Considering
The question is not ro much how
you contract a cold, but how to get
rid of it with the least loss of time
and inconvenience. If you will con--'cUt
the experience of others under
similar circumstances, who have been

colds, in their beginning, you will se
c.ire a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough

who have used this preparation suc
cessfully for years and hold it in high
