Eddyville Fire Destroys Nine Buildings Including Church
A midnight blaze in Eddyville caused nearly 20000 dollars in damage to the business district. Nine structures were ruined, including the Methodist church, a residence, and seven businesses. The fire began in Seifert's restaurant and was noticed by three men sleeping above. Firefighters with a bucket brigade struggled as many buildings were wooden and town fire protection limited. Eddyville hopes for a quicker recovery. The article also notes a Washington investigation into swamp land claims in Webster county and the appointment of local officials to handle the matter. An American Bung factory fire in Davenport caused 12000 to 14000 dollars in losses. Des Moines newsboy Muse Jacobs plans marriage and a shift to a home life with a cigar shop and papers.
