CEDAR VALLEY, CHASE Coz
February 9Th, 1876.
DEAR NEWS: Monday last was a
very windy day, and about 10 A. NJ, a
fire broke out near the line of Chase
and Marion, at Martin Parker's, which
was fearful indeed. The losses in tim
Der, fencing and personal property can
not be far from two thousand dollars.
Mr.. L. F. Drinkwater, and Mr.. T. P.
Sayers were the heaviest losers-the
former in rail fencing, and the latter
In personal property and young tim
Der. Mr.. Savers family--his wife and
an infant child, were driven from the
house by tie fire, smoke and dust, and
had to take partial protection in an
out cellar and under the banks of the
Cedar. All his corn, hay, oats, wheat
and straw were at ence in flames, and
the house was with difficulty saved.
Had it not been for the cultivated
lands Immediately north OF prinkwa-
ter's and the absence of old wooden
fences, nothing could have saved the
greater part of the flames on Cedar
from being swept by the furious fire.
AS it was, the damage was principally
on the west side of the creek, with
scarcely anything to check the flying
flames. From where the fire started,
till it was checked at night on the
south side of the Cottonwood river, was
about eight miles, keeping mostly on
the west side of Cedar, it running
north in the direction of the wind.
The breadth of the fire was about
two miles wide, and had it not been
that about twenty men contested every
foot of its progress west till nine at
night, the damage would have be IN
much greater. The wind was so strong
that many hats flew off and were as
quickly picked up by the devouring
flames. Had it not been for the heroic
bravery of w. Daniel button, and Miss
Cynthia Py!es, Peter Hoover would
have lost 800 bushels of corn and F. L.
Drinkwater all in and about his farm.
The clouds of smoke and dust were so
great, a portion of the time, that it
was almost impossible to see where the
fire was. A,V.
P. S. The fire caught from the top
of stove pipe of a ''dug-out," that
ouly extended little above tile top OF
the ground. V.

that the county printing was fairly

notwithstanding the fact that the
