The Howard Lumber Fire

On Sunday, May 4th, 1941 the Howard Lumber Yard  caught fire. It got so bad that Minneapolis had to send out two pumpers. Damages were estimated at $30,000. Two horses used for hauling and housed at the yard were burned to death. The fire may have been started by cinders from a steam locomotive passing through the business district.
