"TAL ""** FRONTIER
NELIGH—Fire of unknown or
in early today (Thursday) vir
ually destroyed the two-story
'• hood building in Neligh’s bus
inass district, causing extensive
loss to an automobile agency, a
fowling alley, tw'o, government
'fficos, and making at least three
families homeless.
Cal Mahood, owner of the
building, said the loss was not
overed by insurance.
Mr. Mahood discovered the
daze about 2 a.m., after he had
i made a routine check of the
| ouilding’s heating system.
The Neligh and Clearwater fire
| departments fought the blaze for
| .everal hours, but the two floors
iand basement were gutted. The
basement housed a bowling alley
! which had been installed last
; Summer by A1 Gibson. By the
time the fire was extinguish 'd,
the alleys were under three-feet
of water.
Old Man Uninjured
An 87-year-old tenant, Robert
Overton, was carried by firemen
rrom his second-floor sleeping
room. He was uninjured but was
suffering from shock.
Mr. Mahood, also a resident of
the building, said that his house
hold goods were insured for
$1,000.
Offices destroyed were those of
the Antelope county assistance
office and the farm home admin
istration.
One theory of the origin of the
blaze was that it started near the
furnace, which was equipped
with a stoker.
Among those made homeless,
besides Mahood and his wife and
daughter Ellen, are Mr. and Mrs.
Arden Thompson and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Miller, Mr.

This brings the 1947 total to 35
as compared to 42 for the same
period in 1946.
“This decrease shows that lives
I can be saved if motorists will be
on the alert at all times,” Sanders
said. “The patrol is urging mot
orists not to relax their efforts to
reduce accidents as at least one
month of dangerous winter driv
ing remains. Drivers are urged
to remember: Speed must be re
duced on snow or ice, when us
ing chains not to expect dry
pavement stopping performance,
and windshields must be kept
clear."
