Fire in Butte damages carpentry shop on Minl Street
A morning blaze at Mr. Pelit’s carpentry shop on Minl Street, above Broadway, caused tool damage and a burnt roof truss. Citizens quickly fought the fire with little water, the cause unknown, warning of future danger and urging fire prevention measures. The town also reacted to national news of Sioux General Custer’s death and neighboring tensions, with volunteers offering to aid the government.
