Okoboji Cottages Burned In West Okoboji Lake Fire
Three summer homes with a total value of 20000 were destroyed by fire Wednesday morning on Fort Dodge Point West Okoboji Lake. The Smiths of Boone owned a 10000 dollar eight room two story house. Miss Mildred Pidgeon of Denison owned a four thousand dollar six room cottage. HoH Mueller of Muscatine owned a six thousand dollar dwelling. Fire originated near the Smith home and spread to the Pidgeon and Mueller cottages aided by a strong northwest wind. Local and Spirit Lake Arnolds Park departments helped fight the blaze. Mayor Bascom credited the new Okoboji water system with saving about a dozen other cottages. Snow on roofs helped protect nearby structures. A neighbor’s cottage to the south sustained slight damage. the north neighbor escaped damage. The cause was undetermined though prowler fires are suspected in prior seasons. The Smiths and others had recently stayed at the lakes. The Martins name and other surrounding details appear in the report.
