Newell.-Announce have been
made public here to the effect that

bank building can be completed. f. ].
Spencer and o. 4. Farnham OF this
city were the first to reach While Owl
after the fire. Mr.. Spencer is presi.
dent Of the White Owl bank.
The fire started about 10 o'clock
Friday morning on the Dennis ranch,
10 miles northwest Of White Owl, in
eastern Meade county. A heavy wind
from the northwest was blowing and
continued to increase until evening.
The fire ran at terrific speed in the
long dried buffalo grass. and when 1t
reached White Owl II was moving a
swath about six miles wide. White
Owl was located in about the middle
of this swath.
Z. J. Spencer states that the bank
was about the heaviest loser in the
town. the building being worth about
S1,500 and the fixtures about 1000. No
insurance was carried. Hugh Vance
was the heaviest loser among the
farmers, having lost large amount of
feed and all his ranch buildings. ex.
