Fire Destroys Large Reese Barn Near Eagle Lake
A Saturday morning blaze destroyed contractor St H Reese’s large two story 24 by 50 foot barn on the Dr B F Forrest property two and a half miles west of Eagle Lake. Firefighters lacked municipal water lines and drew from a nearby creek to gain a stream sufficient to stop the flames though the structure was nearly ruined. The loss included contractor tools and materials with some nearby outbuildings saved by the quick action of the water stream. Reese suspects a secondary origin and indicated the barn was partially insured.
