TWO BIG RAILROAD FIRES IN IOWA AREA
Two large roundhouses burned nearly simultaneously in Iowa 200 miles apart. The Chicago and Northwestern in Clinton lost a fourteen stall facility valued at least 200000 dollars and thirteen locomotives badly damaged. In Clarion the Great Western roundhouse burned with thirteen engines damaged, losses estimated at 25,000 for the building and 35000 for engines. Night foreman Joseph Mann and about a dozen workers were nearby as flames spread rapidly. Authorities suspect arson and a broader attempt to cripple transportation in the state.
