Grass Fire at A and M College Causes Major Loss
A grass fire near rooms used by A and M College students on a Friday afternoon destroyed two cottages and damaged a third, with furniture losses largely saved by quick action from Bryan Fire Department and student volunteers. The Lanham and Taubenhaus families occupied the doomed homes, while Bagley cottage was saved by water from fire trucks. Sparks from a nearby yard fire ignited dry grass, and high winds amplified the damage.
