The Washington Register Washington County Thursday September 8, 1904 Beware of Fire. On Saturday about noon, John H. BOND, who lives near Pond's mill fired an old stack bottom and left it to continue cutting weeds near by, the fire spread over his meadow burning 65 to 70 tons of fine prairie hay, which had been stacked about a month. All that prevented it from burning his brother's hay was the fact that the grass had grown again and the fire would not run over that meadow. This accident entails a loss of from four to five hundred dollars on Mr. Bond, as hay is valuable. Accidents will happen, but people cannot be too careful with fire especially at this time of year.
