FIRE AT HENDERSONıS SUNDAY
Sunday morning at about ___, Night Watch Solberg was making his
last rounds of the Moorhead business houses preparatory to going
home, he noticed smoke coming from the W. J. Henderson garage and
machine shed and hurriedly he rushed there finding the building
afire. He put in the alarm and awoke neighbors and in a short
while a large crowd gathered to help keep the blaze from
spreading to buildings nearby. The shed, Chevrolet coach,

completely burned beyond all use again. It is thought that a
short in the wiring on the Chevrolet was the cause of the fire.
