A fire Tuesday noon at the Wilfred Sorenson home created considerable damage to the house.  The Thorp fire department and neighbors were able to save the furniture and contents of the first floor but the upstairs was destroyed.  Mr. and Mrs. Sorenson had recently remodeled and painted the interior.  Fire was believed to have started from the chimney.  They are at present living with Mrs. Wm. Sorenson but expect to move back in about a week.
