Beaver creek Home Destroyed by Fire 

Blaze of unknown origin Takes the Building and Contents

Fire of unknown origin destroyed the Frank Zavadil home and all of its 
contents in the Beaver Creek neighborhood  last Monday evening, the members 
of the family being away from home at that time.

The house was on what is known as the old Kuehn place between Crofton and 
Yankton, and it was known as the largest and best farm house in the Beaver 
Creek community. The building had about 10 or 12 rooms. The fire broke out 
at about 8 0’clcok in the evening, and nothing could be done to check it. 

Phone girls at Crofton also had a fire scare at 8:30 0’clock Tuesday morning, 
when defective insulation in the phone office started a fire. The situation 
was a serious one for a few moments, but the girls kept their wits and it a 
short time the excitement was over, very little damage being done.
