Sherman Fire Truck Answered Howe Alarm

The Denison Herald, Oct. 5, 1921

Damage estimated at $75,000 was suffered by the Howe Grain & Milling Company Tuesday night as a result of fire, the origin of which is not known.

About 7 o’clock Tuesday night the flames were discovered in the main building, but as the little city has no adequate means of fighting fire, the blaze soon spread to the adjoining warehouse where large quantities of grain were stored.

The fire burned during the whole of the night, and according to Fire Chief Andrews of Sherman, who went to Howe Tuesday night, the piles of grain will continue to burn for over a week or more unless a heavy rain falls. For two hours, while the fire was at its height, the red reflection on the sky could easily be seen from Sherman, and not a few persons from this city went to see the fire.

The largest fire truck of the Sherman fire department went to Howe, but there was no water pressure and nothing could be done. Fortunately, there was no wind and the flames did not spread to the business section of the city. Falling sparks set nearby residences on fire but bucket lines soon extinguished these small blazes and very little damage was done.

It is understood that the company carried partial insurance, but the exact amount could not be learned Wednesday morning. The Hall & Hare Insurance Company of this city are agents for the company with which the Howe concern is insured, but they would make no statement Wednesday morning.

Bulldogs

(Continued from page 1)

Howe collected 12 hits in the Thursday opener against Sulphur. Luke Lopez, Ryan Hough, Austin Haley, and Carson Daniels all had multi-hit games as Brett Burnett threw five solid innings allowing two earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out seven.

Thursday night, Dylan Hughs threw a one-hitter in a complete game six innings and collected three hits including a dinger while driving in four runs. On the mound, he allowed no earned runs on one walk and struck out seven hitters. Luke Lopez also had three hits while twin brother Ethan Lopez added two. Matt Hayes added a double.

On Friday, Howe took on Oklahoma’s fifth-ranked Lone Grove and out-hit them 12-10, but the Bulldogs committed seven errors which allowed seven unearned runs. Hough went 3-for-3 at the plate while Haley and Kaleb McNutt also had multi-hit games. Hayes got the start on the mound and allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks in two innings. Luke Lopez and Daniels finished out the game combining to allow one earned run in five innings.

On Saturday, Howe got back in the win column in a big way with the 12-0 shutout over Marietta. Haley went 2-for-3 with four RBI while Daniels and Luke Lopez each had multi-hit games.

Parker Pecina was solid on the mound by striking out three in two innings of work allowing one hit and two walks. Haley then struck out the side in the third inning while Daniels pitched the final inning allowing only a hit.

Howe will start district play tomorrow as they will host the Pottsboro Cardinals (5-6). By looking at common opponents, the teams seem to be somewhat evenly matched.

On Friday, Howe will travel to Pottsboro to complete the twogame series.
