A fire Sunday resulted in the destruction of the former Lazy S Saloon on Seventh Avenue (Highway 22) in New Auburn Sunday. Fire Chief Roger Trebbensee said a resident noticed smoke coming from under the eaves and called in the fire at about 9:35 a.m. A downstairs occupant of the building, which is no longer used as a business, was evacuated. Trebbensee said the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but a wood stove is considered a likely culprit.
