Fire Levels U P House to Ground in Potter Nebraska
A Sunday morning blaze destroyed the Union Pacific house near the depot in Potter, leaving Thomas Ladely, his mother, niece, nephew, and Axel Berggren homeless. Firefighters faced delays due to a closed power plant, a frozen hose, and limited water supply. The building, an old landmark likely from the 1870s or 1880s, could not be saved. some furniture including a Steinway piano and a Brunswick phonograph were saved by Ladely and helpers. Ladely and Berggren were affected by smoke, and Ladely remains weak from the ordeal while continuing depot duties. Hansen and Seyfang ran a raffle offering two five dollar grocery baskets. C A Larsen won the first basket No 35.
