Fire destroys Kinzer Bender property near Mechanicsburg
A Monday fire near Mechanicsburg destroyed a house and small barn owned by Kinzer Bender, housing Mrs. Clare Steinman and Aaron Roland. Frames burned quickly after ignition in the stable, neighbors helped but the buildings were lost, with Roland’s belongings uninsured. An incendiary is suspected as a man was seen fleeing the barn. The insured owner’s properties survived, and most of Roland’s goods were gone. Cool weather boosts prospects for the 1915 wheat crop, with calm May conditions aiding grain and hay expectations.
