Estherville faces a devastating blaze that began about 3:30 am in the old Toll livery barn on Main Street. Fire destroyed multiple wooden structures, including the blacksmith shop and the old Fireman's Hall, with about 150000 dollars in damages and the Bartlett block unlikely to be rebuilt. Firefighters and citizens saved several adjacent buildings despite a northwest wind and limited water. Nearby banks and the Grand Theatre sustained only minor damage, and local businessmen expect new construction to rise in place of lost properties.
A Monday deal at Ruthven transferred ownership of the Tree Press and Appeal.
