Fire Destroys Oidtman Store and Home
A fire at the store and home of Martin Oidtman, one mile south of the city on Highway 54, caused an estimated 12 000 dollars in losses. Neighbors saw smoke from the roof shortly after the family left to spend Christmas with Louis Woratzeck. Firefighters faced supply issues as the nearest hydrant was over three miles away and a chemical hose could not reach the blaze. Most household goods and groceries were destroyed, with the building having suffered prior damage from a tornado earlier in the year. Oidtman has not decided whether to rebuild.
