Fires Ravage Woods and Prairies Across Baraboo Region
The Baraboo Republic reports extensive fires from burning woods and prairies endangering homes and property. Mrs Manco Springer’s house near Baraboo burned, destroying a valued library of 800 to 400 volumes and leaving six children nearly destitute. Other losses include a log stable at Webster's Prairie, Aldersmith’s shop with six wagons, and several outbuildings. Rain began slowing the fires, with authorities fearing further spread. Foreseeable relief includes neighborly aid and notes on rail and river disruptions affecting travel.
