Damage expected to top $50,000 when a check is completed was caused early yesterday when fire swept through the top two floors of the old Allmendinger organ works in the 100 block of S. First St. A large part of the damage was from water used in the three-hour battle in near-zero weather to halt the blaze. The scene during the worst of the fire is shown in the above picture.

Fire trucks from five communities and two institutions answered the alarm. Explosion of a heating device, used in the welding room, started the fire.
