Thought this might of use to someone researching surnames in Story co.

From the Nevada Evening Journal Centennial Edition -- June 13, 1953, Vol. 59, No. 64, Page 5
Original article published January 25, 1882

"This afternoon, just as we were going to press, the news was telephoned from Ames that the drug store of Ed Barstow was on fire and the fire beyond control. As that was in the central part of town the local fire company was called out and started for their assistance. But before the train could be procured, better news came and our boys returned. The drug store was wholly consumed. The hardware next to it was partially destroyed before the fire was extinguished. It must have taken excellent organization and hard work."
