departments of Toronto and Hendricks
responded to a call, a bunch of the
boys from here going up with the
chemicals on a special train which
went through Hendricks at 1870. The
fire companies, however, were of no
assistance as the elevator was doom
ed and the direction of the wind was
favorable. The house burned was the
older of the two belonging to the com
pany and the building was insured for
$500. There was about 10000 bushels
of grain stored.
