North Platte, Neb., April 30. Within a few hours after auditors had arrived from Chicago and Mil waukee Sunday night to examine Lincoln county affairs, practically all county records were reduced to ashes In a blaze of mysterious origin which completely destroyed the old courthouse. Flames broke out from within the old two-story brick structure shortly aftei4 midnight and had spread be yond control at 3 a. m. Among the ruins was found the old-fashioned safe where county rec ords, bonds .and cash were kept. It's time lock had been sprung and its contents were missing. Insurance of $20,000 is considered adequate to cover entire loss of the building, while the bond issue of $60,000 can be replaced by the county without loss.
