BLAIR LOSES OPERA HOUSE
Fire, Supposedly of Incendiary Origin,
Takes $6,000 Structure.
Blair, Neb., Aug. 15. The Blair
opera house was destroyed by fire at
2:30 a. m. The building was built
twenty-live years ago by a German
stock company at a cost of $C,Ou0. The
firemen did good work under the cir
cumstances, being crippled somewhat
by the bursting of their hose at the
beginning of the fire. There is plain
evidence that one hose was cut by a
knife.
There is a strong supposition that
the fire is the work of an incendiary,
altbought no direct cause can be as
signed for the act. There was an in
surance of $2,000 on the building and
$500 on furniture.

aside from destroying shingles on the
roof, no material damage was done.
The telephone system of the city and
rural lines are completely demoral
ized, no communication being possible.
