Fire destroys large Santa Fe grain elevator and lumber yard
A massive fire at the Santa Fe grain elevator and nearby lumber yard destroyed about 845000 bushels of wheat valued at 750000 dollars plus the elevator itself worth 200000. The six story building on 27 Wood Street collapsed as flames spread, water access was difficult, trains nearby posed additional risk, and crews fought the blaze for hours with engines and tugs standing by. Embers spread to lumber piles across the yard prompting multiple smaller fires.
