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.
Marshal to Investigate
Citizens here have been assured
that a state fire marshal is on his
way to conduct an investigation.
