The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, March 4, 1876 March 4, 1876
Fire!!
A huge fire swept over the prairies east of town last Thursday night and Friday
and destroyed between one and two hundred tons of hay for different persons. Dr.
HOSFORD, six miles out of the Leavenworth road, is the heaviest loser we learn,
about three-quarters of a mile of rail fence and seventy-five tons of hay
belonging to him being consumed. Two men were seen acting in a suspicious manner
just about the time and in the place that the first started, and is it supposed
they set fire to the grass, and then rode off. If so, they ought to be in the
penitentiary.
