Dalton Elevator Blazes Down in Saturday Fire
A stove overheated in the Pelster and Anderson grain elevator office at Dalton caused a total loss of the building and more than 10,000 dollars in damage. Wheat and grain valued at about 4,000 dollars were destroyed, with insurance partially covering losses. Firefighters from Dalton and Gurley battled high winds and spreading flames, preventing spread to nearby structures. The elevator, built in 1906, was owned by John Pelster and H C Anderson, with rebuilding expected.
