Sudbury Fire Burns 600 To 1000 Acres In Woodlands
A large forest fire originated from an old unoccupied barn near Stow and spread to surrounding woods, burning an estimated 600 to 1000 acres. No buildings were lost, though nearby homes of Emma A. Moore and James Moore areas were saved by neighbor efforts. Road work on the state highway advances while a Sudbury trolley debate centers on route options. A frost occurred in the morning, corn remains sparse, and the scarlet fever scare subsides as a cold case is clarified.
