Dog Warns of Conflagration
The alarm for a fire in Magnolia, Ia., which resulted in a conflagration, the worst in the seventy-three years of the town’s history, was sounded by a fox terrier, and awoke the people in the immediate vicinity.

The apparatus was useless due to the lack of a possible water source from which the pumper could draft water. The fire caused a $30,000 loss.
