July 1870:
July 9, 1870: Warsaw celebrated
the Fourth Of July in great style. The
firemen and base ballists, headed by
a band, went to the river and re
ceived the Keokuk firemen and base
ballists, who came down on the
steamer, Eagle. accompanied by a
boatload of friends.
A flremen's tournament was an
nounced for the afternoon, and the
hose contest was run, the Dolphins
making the run of two blocks on Clay
street, from Second to Fourth, coup
ling the hose on the engine, laying
$50 feet of hose and getting on a
stream of water, in quick time. The
Rollas of keokuk failed to make the
engine coupling and lost the contest.
Before the water throwing by the en-
gines could take place, the Keokuk
fremen were called home by word
that fearful fire was raging in that
city, many Warsaw firenen accom-
panying them.
Keokuk had fire on the Fourth of
July that wiped out twenty-five
houses. 1t started from fire cracker
which ignited a barn in the rear Of
the Barrett House. a large frame
building on Blondeau, communicated
to Huiskamp's new double house and
thence to other buildings until it
reached Mrs. Anderson's on Fourth,
a brick building, which stayed the
further spread in that direction. A
flying brand set fire to DR.. J. c.
Hughes residence on Second, near Ex-
change, and spread until all the
houses in the block, save shanties,
were destroyed.
