Elevator OF Kadoka Grain Go. Burned

less than five minutes time the flames
We're breaking through the roof and
the sides of the building.
The people worked hard removing
the -four and feed from the sheds next
TO the elevator and though the heat
was almost beyond endurance they
kept at it until all was carried out of
reach of the fire and most Of this was
saved, a few sacks being scorched
from the intense heat of the fire, and
hardly had the goods been removed
until the fire broke out on the roof
of the sheds and in short time they
were leyeled TO the ground.
The cupolo on top of the elevator
was the first to be destroyed and from
this the flying shingles drifting over
the town caused considerable uneasi-
ness. but a diligent watch was kept
and the seven or eight small fires that
started were soon put out and We're
given no chance TO make any head
way. After the cupolo and roof had
been destroyed the huge square OF
flames leaping from the heavily crib
bed building and famed by the very
light breeze from the southeast, leap
ed up and over toward the main part
of the town as ii hungry for more to
destroy and made sight that will
not soon be forgotten by the people
of Kadoka. Luckily for the town the
breeze was very light and shortly af-
ter this the tall structure went crash
ing to the ground, falling to the west
and directly oyer the place where the
sheds had stood in which had been
housed the -four and feed.
The elevator was erected in Kado-
ka during the summer of 1909 by the
Kadoka Grain Co., Of which Mr.. j.
ID. Hand of belmont, and Mr.. Louis
Determann of Kadoka, were the own
ers, and since that time Mr. Deter
mann has been manager of the busi-
ness. The construction work was
done by the Younglove Construction
Co. of Sioux City, and i6 was one of
the best elevator buildings in this

Fire Of Unknown Origin Breaks Out in the Ele-
vator During the Noon Hour Last Friday.
Building Is Soon a Mass Of Flames
Flames Completely Destroy Large Building In
Less Than An Hour Impossible to At
tempt to Fight The Fire.

Last Friday afternoon at about y 80
O'Clock thin streak was seen issu-
ing from the north window at the top
of the grain elevator and at first was
thought TO be dust caused by the
elevating of dirty gran, but in few
minutes the streak became blacker
and readily told the story of what
was the cause. The fire bell sent
forth the alarm and quick response
was made by the people of the town,
and the chemical engine was soon on
the scene of the fire but upon arriy-
ing at the elevator it was found that
the interior was mass of flames and
that to even attempt to fight or stay
the progress of the red demon was
useless and the attention of all was
turned TO the saving of the carload of
Hour and feed that was stored in the
sheds just west of the elevator, and
that were doomed to destruction. In
less than an hour from the time the
thin streak OF smoke was TO be seen
issuing from the window of the ele-
vator the tallest building of the town
and one of our leading business in
dustries was leyeled to the ground, a
mass of smoldering rains.
The fire was most peculiar one,

and the origin ofitis unknown. About
twenty minutes before the fire was
discovered the manger. Mr., l.. Det-
ermann, left the building and went
to dinner. At the time of his leaving
everything about the place was ap-
parently all right, but before he had
reached home he was again called
back to his place of business only to
see it wiped out by the raging flames.
During the morning Mr.. Determann
lad been grinding feed and it is the
general belief that hot boxing or
where the drive shaft from the en-
gine passed through the side of the
structure, had rubbed against the
wood and that from either of the
sources the fire had it's origin, and
the draft caused by the high open
building soon famed the small spark
that started the fire into the raging
torrent that destroyed the building.
Before leaving for his dinner Mr..
Determann had closed and locked the
doors to- the runway in the elevator,
but upon the arrival of the crowd at
the scene of the fire the fam es that
enveloped the entire lower portion of
the building could be seen through
the cracks between the doors and in
