BIG FIRE AT WEISER
 
Last Tuesday morning about one o'clock fire broke out in the Gem State Lumber 
Yard at Weiser and before the flames could be extinguished it spread to the 
Weiser Cold Storage and both were totally destroyed, there were 14 new ford 
cars in the cold storage building which were also destroyed, two new coal cars 
and two double deck stock cars belonging to the O. S. L. Railroad Co. that 
were standing nearby were burned, a total loss of about $150,000.  While this 
fire was burning another fire was discovered in a barn several blocks away and 
against the wind, which would indicated that same malicious person might be 
responsible.
