many of the notices were trte in their
application and were wildly cheered. one
in particular bearing the inscription,

At o'clock the fire alarm awakened
the sleeping Inhabitants to the fact that
the large Reynolds grain elevator at the
depot was ablaze. The water works be-
ing out of order, little could be done, and
the high wind soon caused the destruc-
ton of the building. Three box cars
caught fire from the elevator and when
the sides of one OF them had caved in,
the charred body Of a man was discover
ed. Identification is impossible, but it is
supposed that he was a tramp.
Hardly had the people returned to their
beds when they were called out again to
a fire in Beymer's hardware store. Tele-
grams for assistance were sent to Cres-
ton, Clarinda and Red Oak, but before
aid could arrive two whole blocks had
been swept away.
The fire in the elevator was caused by
sparks from a locomotive, the elevator
