SCHOOL HOUSE AT ROSELAWN BURNED

- Caught’ From Spark and Was Totally Destroyed—lnsured For SI,OOO in Steward Agency. The Roselawn school house was totally destroyed by fire at about noon today, Monday. It cauglhit from a spark on the roof and as there was no fire-fighting apparatus in the town nothing could be done to save it. The building was a twostory frame structure erected about twenty years ago. Counity Superintendent Lamison, of his county, taught school there in 1899. Roselawn is in Lincoln township, Newton county, and Dr. Rice is trustee. The building was insured in the C. B. Steward agency tor SI,OOO. It is probable that difficulty will be met in finding a pliace to continue the schools the balance of the term.
