Malvern Fire Torch Fueled by Gasoline Stove Wind
A gasoline stove sparked a major Malvern fire caused by Miss Maude Winchell at the Wm. Yunnison restaurant last Friday evening. The blaze threatened two frame buildings and the Catholic church as a north wind fanned flames. Firefighters and volunteers battled for about an hour, saving nearby stores and the bank building while water from a city pump house aided the effort.
