Fire Damages Moody Store

The general store of Fred Markin, of Moody, Ind., caught on fire about 6:00 o’clock Wednesday evening and before it was extinguished caused considerable damage. A defective flue caused the fire, and practically all of the ropf of th< building burned off before the blaze was finally put to rout by the fifty volunteer firemen. The building is a two story structure. Fortunately there was no stock stored on the second floor and the loss to Mr. Markin will be slight. Jerome Nelson, of Walker township, was in Rensselaer today.
