The following is an item clipped from the Edgerton paper which will be of
interest to most of our readers: A disastrous fire was narrowly averted
Thursday afternoon, March 24, on the farm of Simon Aukema, adjoining _____
on the west, and even as it was he sustained quite a loss by a large number
of his fruit trees and berry bushes being destroyed. Several days he burned
a straw stack in his field south of the buildings and had to all appearances
died off, but the heavy wind of the same morning fanned some remaining
embers into a blaze and in a few minutes a raging prairie fire was driven by
the strong wind over the stubbles, through the orchard and up to the houses
and barn. It was only by heroic fight put up by Mr. Aukema and a large
number of neighbors that the buildings were saved. Although the loss of the
fruit trees means a great deal. Mr. Aukema is thankful the buildings are
saved.

FIRE AT HAWARDEN
Scrogg's elevator at Hawarden was destroyed by fire on Thursday causing a loss of $5000 and 4000 bushels of grain were destroyed. The fire was fanned by a strong south wind and for a time threatened the whole of the southeast portion of the town. The Kenny mill was damaged to the extent of $1500. Burning shingles carried by the high wind set fire to several barns in the vicinity and the lumber yard of O'Neal & Co. was also on fire and suffered a loss of $1000. Only the hardest kind of work on the part of the fire company and citizens prevented a large number of buildings from being destroyed. The fire is supposed to have been caused by sparks for a passing railroad engine.
