Early Saturday morning fire was
Hellwinkel ranch, three miles south
of Gardnervile. The fire had gained
good headway before detected by the
mixer who gave the alarm. 1t was
then about 5 o'clock Mr.. Hellwinkel
telephoned to Gardnerville and the
night operator gave the fire signal on
all the local lines and then ran to the
engine house and rang the fire bell.
The fire department responded and
the engine and hose cart was hur
ried to the ranch. being drawn by
automobiles. In the meantime
men from neighboring ranches and
also from Minden. rushed to the fire
The fire spread rapidly and two
stacks OF hay as we'll ah about thirty
tons of baled was were hopelessly
doomed. The men turned their at
tention to preventing the fire from
spreading to adjoining stacks and
sheds which were threatened with
destruction.
The hay press of Theodore Hansen
was set near one of the stacks and
when the fire was discovered the
press was on fire. 1t was moved and
the fire extinguished before much
damage was done.
Just how the fire started will prob
ably never be known, however it was
stated that quantity of gasoline was
taken from a can the day before the
fire. Mr.. Hellwinkel strongly sus-
picions a certain party and is working
hard to get positive proof that the
gasoline was used to STRAIT the fire.
A link in the chain of evidence is
missing and if discovered arrests
will Immediately follow
This men working OH the hay press
believes as does Mr.. Hellwinkel, that
the fire was .ncindary origin aad are
helping in every way possible to bring
the fiend TO justice.
