Two File Calls in One Day.

The fire company was called out about 9 o clock Sunday morning , to put out a blaze in the summer 1 kitchen at Simon Hoehstetlery residence, the former C. G. Spitler place, just north of the Monon station. The family was all away to church at the time and know nothing as to how the blaze started, as they had ■had no fire about the house that morning at all. The building was a total loss and the paint on the residence was scorched somewhat on that side. The loss is covered by insurance.

Shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday night the fire company was again called north of the railroad, where Geo. Seibel’s barn had caught fire from an unknown cause and was totally destroyed. The fire was about three blocks northeast from the main street crossing.
