Large Fire Destroys Buildings in Demotte Area
Fire destroyed five structures by the time the first truck arrived with total damage estimated at 250000 dollars. The blaze started in a storage house in the north, aided by a high wind, as trucks from Rensselaer Crown Point Hebron and Lowell fought the flames. Only the schoolhouse and church survived in the downtown district. Officials could not determine the origin, with one theory blaming sparks from a passing railroad engine. Demotte lies about 28 miles southeast of Crown Point and 75 miles from Chicago.
