several hundred people were on the
scene, The fire spread with great
rapidity and soon the mammoth
building was completely envelope1
In fire For a time It was thought
that the immense granary and tool
shed located about twenty feet dis
tant from the main barn, might be
saved. The fire grew dangerously
hot however. aud the fire fighters
found 1t impossible TO prevent the
other building from igniting. Only
a few implements which were locat-
cd in the large barn we're saved and
the fire caused almost total
wreck.
Morals machine shop which was
located near the fire, became ignited
several times and the bucket brigade
fought desperately to conquer the
fire. The residence OF Charles Cotral
also caught fire from the sparks OF
the big fire, but the volunteer fire
department managed to extinguish it
The big fire caused tremor OF
excitement to sweep over the small
village. The Rebekah convention
which was in the midst OF It's session
adjourned and the delegates hur'
ried to the scene OF the excitemen..
The barn in which the fire took
its origin was fifty by eighty feet
in dimensions and nearly three stor-
les high. Mr. Washburn used 1t in
housing his stock in the winter
time. Fortunately at this time the
barn contained no live stock what
ever and consequently the usual pitt
full features OF fire OF this nature
did not occur. The granary was about
thirty by seventy feet in dimension
and was a valuable building. The
loss was wholly covered by ingur-
ance.
