Had Disastrous Fire During the time of the funeral of the late Jacob Hardnock, a Are broke out and with no known cause, at the home cf August Johnson, which con sumed his "barn and a very modern crib that was more of anelevator than a crib, both being excellent buildings. The neighbors responded readily to the call for help as did also the AIvo Fire Department. The peo ple were assembled at the funeral and with their best clothes and to fight the fire were not properly attired, but did rot let that deter them and hur r'ed to the scene of the fire and did all possible for the extinguishing of the blaze. Their efforts were respon sibls for preventing the spread of the flames to other buildings nearby. In the crib were some 2,000 bushels of corn. It is reported that the build ings were partially insured and that the) insurance on the grain was $100. The loss will be greatly in excess of the insurance, which is near $2,000.

DUXBURY, (Seal) m9-3w County Judge Nebraska City Packing Plant to Cease Killing Indefinite Closing Means Loss of Em ployment to 400 Hen in the Otoe County City. Killing operations at the Morton Qregson packing plant at Ncbranka City will cease at the end of this month, statement .issued by C. M. Aldrich, manager, states. The packing house will remain closed indefinitely, with only hog and cattle buying operations to b: car ried on in the future. Th hut down of the plant will affect norm? 4 00 workmen who have been eiiKitK"l m the plant. This industry has been the Iuik est in the Otoe county city and Mh closing comes as a Kevcro blow l the residents of Nebraska City. The statement: "The anxiety of our citizens with reference to the operations of plant are natural and in order to quiet numerous rumors floatliiK around and to give a cleaer under standing we state the facts as fol lows: "We are operating as usual now and will continue to do so until the close of thi3 month, then we expect to discontinue killing operations here and the plant will remain closed indefinitely. We shall continue buy ing both hogs and cattle for the pur pose of supplying other Wilson houses. "This action is due entirely to change in conditions and distribu tion and to business conditions which obtain in other line3 as well as our own. Our people feel that it is bet ter policy to operate their larger plants to full capacity rather than operate additional numbers of plants and all of them on limited schedule "We have had satisfactory opera tions the past six months, about 25 greater volume than corre spondlng time last year and returns have been much more satisfactory "Reports that the plant is being closed on account of failure to meet Government requirements are not correct, as the plant fully meets Gov ernment requirements and relations are pleasant as they have always been. y fit is a matter of regret to all concerned in the" company that con ditions make this move seem advis able, but the conditions are not of our making or their making, nor are the people of Nebraska City respon sible. We are simply having to pay the price here in thi3 community that many others have suffered and will have to suffer until present busi ness conditions are changed perman ently for the better."
