Rich Wheat Belt Fire Leaves Fatalities and Destruction

High winds fueled a blaze in the rich wheat belt near Hanford California destroying about 2 million dollars in standing grain. The fire killed Martin Solario and injured others as 1500 firefighters from Hanford Coalinga and Lemoore battled the flames. The burned area measured 37 by 10 miles and ruined homes and farm equipment while nearby fruit orchards were saved. In Davenport Iowa a dying farmer killed two robbers who wounded him before dying.
