OSHKOSH FACTORY FIRE LOSS $50,000
Oshkosh, Wis., Oct 16.-- A four-story warehouse and office building of the Schmit Brothers Trunk company and a residence belonging to E. J. Robinson, adjoining, were destroyed by fire early this morning. The loss is estimated at $50,000. The main factory buildings were saved and manufacture will not be hampered. A new structure will be erected.
