Fires Ravage Garber Town Twice in One Night
Two major blazes struck Garber on consecutive nights. George Ridgeway’s Fourth Avenue home was engulfed, with only bare walls saved as flames fanned by a south wind. The Sparking blaze near Gilbert’s Sixth Avenue boarding house threatened nearby structures but firemen prevented total loss. Ridgeway’s loss included his house and contents. Gilbert’s suffered damage but most items were removed. No injuries reported.
