Fire devastates timber yard near Michigan City
A blaze tore through the Haskell & Barker Car Co. lumber yard on the Monon line at Michigan City’s southwestern edge, destroying about three quarters of a million dollars in timber. Firefighters from Chicago and nearby cities aided, wind shifts aided containment, while warning that human effort remains limited against a prairie fire. The incident prompted reflections on providence, and local efforts shifted to band plans in Westville and road work between Westville and Wanatah to speed recovery.
