over half of the business district Of
Castlewood is now a mass of ruins
with a damage to the amount of

By the time the local fighters got
there nearly the entire south side of
main street was in flames. Several
charges Of dynamite were set off tc
reduce the buildings to wreck.
The fire came at a very bad time
just at the end of a severe snow
storm which resembled a blizzard
more than anything else 1t was a
bitterly cold day and men took turns
during the night to see that toe fire
did not break out anew.
