Runaway Team, Fire Destroys Bank Barn in Smithville Area
A horse team owned by Wm. Lichtenwalder currently near Smithville bolted from a hitching post on Buckeye Street. The eight year old son crawled into the wagon and helped stop the team after it careened down Liberty, Bealle, and Bowman streets. A separate fire destroyed the Willaman bank barn east of the city at two in the morning, with extensive losses of hay, grain, equipment, and household goods. Insured for 4700 dollars, damages estimated eight to nine thousand dollars. Firefighters saved the Willaman driving horse and vehicle, though Mr. Willaman received burns while aiding in the effort.
