NEW SALEM BUILDING BURNED

The home of Peter Weidman, one of the finest dwellings in New Salem, was totally destroyed by a fire at three o’clock Monday afternoon. The family was away at the time the fire started and Mr. Weidman is at a loss to account for the origin of the flames. A line of hose was put into play but the pressure was inadequate and failed to check the flames. During the progress of the fire, Mr. Weidman appeared and in an effort to enter the house and get some money in a sleeping room he was nearly overcome by the smoke. The home was valued at about $3,000.
