Clintonville Tribune - Clintonville, WI - February 8, 1889 FIRE - Tuesday morning about ten o'clock the alarm of fire was sounded by the delayed limited coming from the south, and being taken up at the engine house, the first and hook and ladder companies promptly answered the same and hurried the engine and truck to the third ward, where smoke was emanating from the newly built Lutheran Church. The engine was stationed at the city tank, and in an increditable short space of time water was forced through about 500 feet of hose to the threatened building. The boys of the hook and ladder company sealed the building and by cutting holes in the roof gained access to the flames, which had already made considerable headway in the attic of the church. A good half hour's work sufficed to extinguish the fire, although the work was somewhat delayed by the severe weather. The damage done to the building will sum up about $100. The edifice was insured but it is questionable whether the congregation can collect damages on account of the origin of the fire. The building is used as a school room during the week and it seems that the teacher, Mr. Marquardt, had taken the ashes from the stove, and depositing them in a nail keg, had left the same inside the building when going away. The hot ashes and coals set the keg on fire, and the flames spreading soon found their way up the side of the wooden structure and into the attic. The green co--lition on the lumber and the snow on the roof had delayed the conflagation, otherwise the building would have been doomed ere the department reached the ground. As it was, the damage was comparatively small, and families living in the neighboring houses, who had removed their household goods for greater safety, found that they had gone to unnecessary trouble. Crushed His Hand - Henry Beyer residing near Buckee, met with a very painful accident, and one that perhaps will maim him for life. The injury was received while he and his wife were sawing down a tree, which split and caught his hand crushing and lacerating it in a frightful manner.

The next morning Dr. Oviatt assisted by Dr. Dane Perry, set the fractured limb. He is in a bad condition but will recover. A Narrow Escape - Nelson Uttormark came near losing his life while working in the woods for Rohrer & Sons Wednesday afternoon. The accident occurred by Mr. Uttormark's attempt to fall a tree upon which two other trees had lodged. When the tree fell he was unable to get out of the way owing to the extreme depth of the snow. He was crushed down in a drift receiving a severe cut on the head and many strains and bruises. His companions who released him say that he would have surely been killed but for the snow drifts that partially kept the tree tops off from him.

New Buildings Though several weeks must yet elapse before the building season opens, there already is evidence indicative of unusual activity in building enterprises the coming summer. At least three new brick buildings will be constructed on the main business street, and several citizens are contemplating the construction of private residences. I. Hanson & Son will erect a brick veneered store building 22X60 feet and two stories high; F.

In addition to these buildings, the construction of which is assured, it is not improbably that Mr. I M. Demming may decide upon erecting a business block during the summer. These buildings will not be constructed on the prospect for a future New London boom. They will be built because there is an immediate demand for them, and are indisputable evidences that New London has revived, and is prospering. The Factory Sold The Ostrander Chair Factory plant was sold at Sheriff's sale yesterday, but virtue of an order of sale issued by the circuit court in favor of the Weed & Gumaer Manufacturing company of Weyauwega. The claims of a Waupaca bank and a Symco lumber manufacturer were included, the TRIBUNE believes in the claim of the firm above cited, aggregating a total amount equaling the amount received at the sale, which will leave outside creditors a decidedly small margin upon which to base hopes for a full or even a partial payment of their claims at an early date.

THE ANNUAL SCOURGE OF FIRE - Hard Work to Save Marion and Buckbee - Bad Wreck On the Lake Shore The latter part of last week particularly Saturday is memorable for the fierceness of the fires that rages along the line of the Lake Shore R'g from Clintonville to Hunting station. The almost entire absence of rain this spring had left the woods as dry as tinder, and once a blaze was started it soon got beyond control. Saturday afternoon fires were burning all around the city, a gale from the south blowing showers or ashes and stifling clouds of smoke through the streets. About 2 o'clock p.m. Mayor Stacy ordered out the steamer and took it to the south side to be in readiness for work. About this time a messenger came in from Chet. Bennett's farm a quarter of a mile from town, and reported that Bennett's barn and other buildings were in great danger of burning up. As the barn stood on an eminence from which the wind would carry burning embers into the city the mayor wisely concluded to take the engine out onto the farm which was soon accomplished. The machine was set upon the bank of the rivulet that meanders by the abode of Bennett, and a battle began with the fire which was galloping through an old slashing directly to the barn. It is difficult work to extinguish a fire in such a place but after a determined fight of an hour is was done, but the firemen were nearly overcome by the dense smoke which was possessed of very remarkably stinking and stinging properties. Putting out this fire probably saved a portion of Clintonville from destruction. During the afternoon a telegram was received from Marion asking for the steamer, but it was deemed unsafe under the circumstances to send it out of town. Buckbee had a narrow escape from being wiped out. The place is built in the midst of brush heaps and littered with sawdust and furnished a "snap" for the flames. The citizens fought the fire to a standstill, but three farmers living near suffered severely. Wm. Guller lost his house, barn, a horse, besides several head of sheep and five hogs. The barn and farming implements also all the family clothing belonging to Geo. Mischock was destroyed. Gus. Witt's barn was burned. At Marion all business was suspended Saturday afternoon and men, women and children carried water and fought the fire with a determination that met with success and saved the town. The country surrounding Marion presents a most desolate appearance. The fences are nearly all destroyed and many farmers suffered the loss of buildings. The following is a nearly a complete list of those who lost: F. Percoit, dwelling house Aug. Mavis, house barn and everything but team. F. Kattencamp, barn and stables Fred Holz, house; barn and everything about the place Peter Doty, barn and shed. The old Doty mill on the north branch of the Pigeon was burned. At 3:28 the through freight south was ditched two miles west of Marion, the burned ties having caused the rails to spread. Engineer Frank Krahn, in attempting to jump, was badly injured about his head and neck. Eight cars loaded with logs and lumber were completely destroyed. The balance of the train remaining on the track was pulled back out of danger by a train was pulled back out of danger by a train follow9ing the wrecked train. The wreck caused a delay of ten hours. The particulars of the wreck, as given by an eye-witness are as follows: "The woods have been on fire near the track there several days and the brisk south-west wind Saturday fanned the flames into a tornado of fire. It was about 4 o'clock when freight train No. 42, engineer Frank Krahn, of Manitowoc, approached, the fire. The track was entirely hidden from view by fire and smoke, but knowing that there was a fill of about six feet for some distance, the engineer reasoned that the track would be safe and pulled into the fire at about twenty miles an hour. Suddenly he felt his engine off the track. He reversed the lever and jumped. Nine cars loaded with lumber went into the ditch and were burned up. The rest of the train-thirteen cars loaded with logs and lumber-remained on the track. They were pulled away by the work train which had taken a siding a short distance back to let the freight pass. The engine remained on the ties, but was considerably damaged by the heat around it. The track was destroyed for about two train lengths. In jumping from his engine, the engineer struck against a sharp corner of the tie, cutting a deep gash in the side of his neck and sustaining other bruises. The fireman escaped with a sprained ankle. The head brakeman was on top of the fifth car from the engine. The car and lumber went into a promiscuous heap some thirty feet from the track, but the brakeman escaped unhurt. Passenger train No. 6 reached the scene about an hour after the accident took the injured engineer on board and backed up to Tigerton station, where a physician dressed the engineer's wounds. Trains 3 and 6 transferred passengers around the wreck about midnight and the engineer was brought to Manitowoc. It is thought he will recover.

Lombard, of Waupaca, and James Farleton, of Wyocena, are in Mason City, Ia., in search of a will through to have been made by Mary A. Miles, prior to her death on the 19th instant.

Night Watch, Peter Larson, saw the blaze and took a horse and went over to Mr. Bailey's, to warn them of possible danger. Peter says he knows what a black barb wire fence is in the dark, because he ran into one while going out on his mission last night. He found By Bailey and Ed Gaines had been back-firing in order to save the fences. It took lots of hard work, but they saved much property by being on the alert.

A Sad Event The people of this city were startled on Monday afternoon, when it was learned that Dee Vernon, a little six-year old son of A. D. Barnes, the nurseryman, was missing. The sadness of the disappearance was more than intensified as the mother was sick, a baby boy having been born to her on Sunday. The father slept with his son, Vernon and another little son of three years; and was obliged to get up to take the early train for Waupaca on account of a large fruit tree delivery to some Mich. parties, but intended to return on the night train. The little brothers were sweetly sleeping and the father kissed them and soon was hurrying to his business mission, never dreaming that nay calamity would ever befall any of his darling boys. But this world is a mystery, it is full of strange incidents. Life is sometimes like a dream; the fates work mysteriously; some times in one way, sometimes in another. Here is a family whose door death had never entered, neither has it in any of the doors of the father and mother or brothers or sisters for thirty three years. The little fellow ate his breakfast and started out on his bury rounds as usual. He was missed by members of the household when the school hour approached, and word was sent to the school house, and inquires made if he had been there; he had not. Search was made at the neighbors, in the woods and in the pond. Night came; the mother was nearly frantic. But neighbors and all who heard of it lent a hand in the search. Searching parties patrolled the river, with boat and lights clear to the brick yard. When the night train came in, parties were at the depot to meet Mr. Barnes. He was asked if he got the telegram about the fact the Dee Vernon was lost. He said he did not. Mr. Barnes said right away it flashed across his mind that the little fellow might be in the hole that was dug a few rods back of the barn, to drain the marsh or swamp, and he asked if they had looked there. But no one had thought of it As soon as Mr. Barnes got home he went out with some of the searching party and examined the ill fated drain. O-he would have given worlds, had he possessed them, if he had only done what he had intended to do; placed a fence guard around that pool. There was the little boy's hat, a rake was brought and soon the lifeless body was brought to the surface. In the morning a jury was impaneled by Sheriff Williams and Justice Scott with W. J. Chamberlain, H. B. B. Poppe, E.H. Palmer, D. Yarns, S. Dox and J. W. Evans as jurors. Dr. L. H. Pelton made an examination. After consultation and a view of the spot, a verdict was rendered of accidental drowning. The funeral was held at the family residence on Wednesday, Rev. Perry Millar offering most appropriate and fitting words of divine consolation. The family have the sympathy of the entire community, in their sad bereavement. Clintonville Tribune - Clintonville, WI - May 17, 1889 WAREHOUSE BURNED - The warehouse of Gilmore & Ware, at the depot, containing 10,000 bushels of potatoes owned by S. H. Hall & Co.

These potatoes were eight to fifteen-cent stock bough for this spring for a Minneapolis starch factory.
