August Koepke Of Grant
Center lost his large barn and
stables oy fire yesterday morn
ing. The fire broke out just as
the horses were being hitched up
for the days work, and was first
noticed in corner of hay loft
where a party of threshers had
slept some time ago, and it is
supposed they dropped some
matches, which mice had gnawed.
The horses were gotten out of
the stable and some of the small
er machinery was saved, but
1000 BUSHES Of wheat, 1900
bushels of oats, a large quantity
of hay and fodder, binders and
other machinery were consumed.
There was $500 insurance on the
barn.
The fire last Saturday morning
was another reminder of the to
tally helpless condition OF Mil
bank in regard to fire. Happily
there was but little wind at the
time and that blowing in a dlrec'
ton in which was the least dan
ger, and no nearby buildings.
Could pressure of water have
been secured in a reasonable
time the fire could easily have
been kept under control. Had
the fire been in a row OF frame
buildings closely adjoining each
other it would have burned until
there was nothing more within
just as it did Saturday
morning. Surely one OF the
things Of which Milbank stands
in need is some kind of fire pro-
lection. Either some arrange
ment should, be made with the
railroad company by which a
pressure of water could be con-
stantly maintained, or an entirely
independent system secured.
