Description
Fire Destroyed Indian
School Teacherage
Fire which had evidently smoldered most of the night Wednesday, broke out between four and five
o'clock Thursday morning to spread and destroy the teacherage at the Indian school on the reservation, according to reports that reached Fallon Thursday.
The building had not recently been used as a teacherage, but was occupied by a housekeeper, whose name was not learned, who was awakened and had barely escaped from the burning structure when the roof fell in.
Aid was summoned and neighbors were able to save other buildings nearby from more than a bad scorching.
