Callies Estate Building Razed in Major Titania Fire
Fire gutted the W. F. Callies Estate Store in Titania on a Friday night destroying 44 by 120 foot structure with contents estimated at 30 000 partially insured. Fire brigades from Algona Wesley Britt and Buffalo Center aided as a bucket brigade formed by around forty young men kept flames from spreading to adjacent brick buildings. The fire started in the basement at nine o'clock and was fought for hours as the well was used to core supply water. The Pannkuk building and Wilson restaurant suffered minor damage but the main loss fell on the Callies store with plans to rebuild on the same site after insurance settlement. The store has operated since 1898 with owners Bertha Callies and two sons.
