A powerful northwest wind Tuesday toppled small buildings in Emmons County and sparked prairie fires north of Linton. Property damage was limited in town, but farms near the N P line suffered heavy losses. J. E. Horton’s ranch, a big gray horse team, and about 300 tons of hay burned. Adam Paul and Fred Knuten lost cattle and all household goods. Fires near the old Inchester townsite and at Cad Logue’s stable caused further losses. Merkel family area reportedly burned as flames spread north of the valley. The town avoided major fire damage as water was applied to halt the blaze.
