Four Sunday Fires In Lawrence From Dry Weather
Lawrence firemen battled four fires amid hot dry winds. A pea huller stack fire near Stokely Van Camp was started by motor exhaust, a grass fire east of the station sparked by a steam locomotive, wild oats set by a trash fire on Frank Dexter’s property, and a blaze in a Model T parked on Massachusetts Street. Fire Chief Paul Ingels urged care burning trash outdoors due to the danger to bushes and grass.
