COLD STORAGE PLANT BURNED

Fire at Goodland Removed Last Trace of Brewery Interests. The large cold storage plant at Goodland, owned by the Columbia Brewing company of Logansport, was destroyed by a fire of Unknown origin that was discovered at 7 o’clock Tuesday evening. .It was a two-story frame building and made a big fire. Its destruction removes the last trace of the brewery interests in the town, and when informed that it was burning the owners advised that no attempt be made to extinguish the flames. Years ago it was used as a bottling works but recently it has merely provided a hangout for dissolute characters and the town board was contemplating its removal, as it had become a public nuisance.
