Fire in the Woods at Chautauqua Grounds
Clouds of smoke drifted over the Chautauqua grounds as a prairie grass fire started around noon on Frank Palmer's property. A. J. Stirk mobilized men and a water tank, aided by Devils Lake volunteers, backfiring along the road to protect Baughman and Palmer. By night the blaze was under control and the area safe, though smoldering continued into morning.
