Landmark Is Burned

One of the oldest buildings in St. Helena Destroyed

            A large barn said by the old settlers to be one of the 
oldest buildings in St. Helena was destroyed by fire about noon Monday.  
The building was owned by Herman Bruening. A valuable two-year horse 
belonging to his son Adolph was lost in the fire. 

            The building was one of the landmarks of the pioneer days of 
the former county seat, and is said to have been one of the very first 
buildings erected in those days of promise for the little city.

            It is said that the fire originated from boys playing 
with matches.
