In Evansville, Indiana, a large fire destroys a tobacco factory and other structures

A large fire struck Evansville, Indiana during a day of heavy winds.  A tobacco factory burned, along with $40,000 in raw tobacco, and a neighboring saw mill was also destroyed.  The wind made fire-fighting difficult and another eight houses burned before the fire was brought under control.  (By John Osborne)
