I think Roger and I are reading the same newspaper clipping, sent to us by forum member, Dr. Blaine Houmes. Both Blaine and I were surprised to see (for the first time, we think) that the fire was started by a boy burning trash.

I also looked for a date on the newspaper clipping, but had to do some arithmetic. The fire was in March of 1911, and the article states the Lincoln coach "burned in a fire in Columbia Heights just 53 years ago Wednesday." That would date the article to 1964 - even though the copy makes it appear much older. Yikes! It was written when I was in college.

It's from the 17 March 1964 issue of the Minneapolis Star.
